Breaking news - Fair Ferries petition for Nikki Kaye

Posted 24/06/2009 - 12:03 by Shirin

This Monday, the Campaign for Fare Ferry Fares will be presenting Nikki Kaye, our MP, with a petition calling for affordable and sustainable fares on the Waiheke to Auckland Central Route.  

Recognising the importance of sustainable and affordable public transport, she has agreed to present this petition to Parliament as part of the discussion on the Public Transport Management Act. 

The petition, now signed by over 500 people, calls for a mechanism of accountability so that fares cannot be raised without consultation with any governing transport authority and regulation or fair competition on the route.

If you haven't signed the petition, there is still time to do so at the library, at the markets on Saturday or at Get Stuffed in Ostend.   With the review of the Transport Management Act coming up, this is a key moment to request regulation of some kind before more people are driven off the island.
