Plain-English summary

Waikato Regional Council is seeking views on proposed changes to public transport fare policies across the Waikato, including fare caps, youth discounts and Te Huia eligibility.

Why it matters

The policies affect what people pay for travel by bus, Te Huia and on-demand transport.

The review may change how fare zones, concessions, fare products and transfers work.

Public transport costs have increased, and the Government expects a greater share of costs to be covered by fares.

Who may care

  • People who use buses, Te Huia or on-demand transport in the Waikato
  • People travelling for work, study, appointments, shopping or to visit whānau and friends
  • Households, communities and organisations affected by public transport fares
