Auckland Transport seeks $50m in funding support from council

Auckland councillors will vote on Thursday on whether to approve a $50 million funding support package for Auckland Transport (AT), Stuff reports, after a major fall in public transport revenue due to Covid-19. Deputy Mayor Bill Cashmore, who sits on AT’s board as a council representative, said, “We really need a comprehensive agreement from the Government outlining how much support Waka Kotahi can provide to support the drop in public transport patronage.”
