Small town NZ missing out on cheap public transport

From Morning Report, 8:53 am on 13 May 2022

Thousands of people have been enjoying half price public transport since the government slashed fares last month in response to the rising cost of petrol.

It's only supposed to last until the end of June although Ministers have hinted it could become a permanent saving.

That's good for some but for many in small town New Zealand, there is still no access to public transport at all.

Nelson reporter Samantha Gee has more.
