Free Fairs Campaign w/ New Zealand Union of Students' Associations

A collective of 40+ organisations including student associations has launched a petition, calling for the Minister of Transport to implement free public transport for Community Service Card holders, full and part-time tertiary students, and under-25s nationwide.

The campaign states that many people in these groups rely on public transport the most, but are the most likely to not be able to afford it.

Jessica Hopkins spoke with National President at New Zealand Union of Students' Associations Andrew Lessels about why this is an important issue for students in particular.

Here is that interview.
