Bus Ownership Model w/ Ben McFadgen: August 16, 2022

New legislation will see councils directly own and operate public transport services, a move which Transport Minister Michael Wood claims will alleviate worker shortages and give local authorities greater flexibility. 

The changes will see the existing, long-running operating model be replaced with a Sustainable Public Transport Framework.

Emily spoke with New Zealand Bus and Coach Association Chief Executive Ben McFadgen about the changes.
