How much are fares going up by?
The average increase is about 2.5% for GST, and a further 3% to cover the increasing costs. However some increases are higher.
Cash fares increase by at least 50c per trip to take account of the GST increase. The city section and 1-zone fare, and zones 11-14 fares (which mostly affect Wairarapa travellers) are being increased more, to get the overall increase in fare revenue that we need. The city section cash bus fare will go up from $1 to $2, but a $1.50 fare will be available for stored value card users. The zones 11-12 cash fares will go up by $1 per trip and zones 13-14 by $2.
Stored value cards and multi-trip tickets, (10-trip and monthly tickets) for zones 4-10, increase by about 2% to take account of the GST increase.
Multi-trip tickets for zones 1-3 and 11-14 have been increased more to get the overall increase in fare revenue.作者: sun 时间: 2010-10-4 14:53:31
