Is our public transport network ready to replace our cars?

New Zealand should be in a golden era for public transport.  
 
A growing awareness of climate change, combined with congestion frustrations, should make a pivot to trains and buses a no-brainer. 

But our major networks in Auckland and Wellington are plagued by negative perceptions around frequency, delays and journey times - views that even the most loyal public transport would struggle to argue against some days. 
 
There are promises of major developments coming down the pipeline - but how long will they take, and is the Government invested enough to make them happen?

Today, NZ Herald senior journalist Georgina Campbell joins Damien for a discussion on the current state of New Zealand’s public transport.
