The two roles of Public Transport:The appropriate role for public transport is to provide an alternative to private cars,particularly for longer journeys where active modes are less attractive.It also has a vital role in providing for people who do not own a private vehicle, are unable to drive or cannot use active modes to access the goods or services they need.(source: GWRC RLTS)

Summary of Transport Rates Discussion• Rates to support Bus services are calculated ona totally different basis from Rail Services• There is significant cross-subsidies from
Wellington and Hutt Cities to Kapiti andWairarapa through the rates calculation• The rail rates essentially penalise residents wholive closer to the CBD and favour residents living
far away• The Transport Rates Calculation is a secret …the information here was only obtained with theintervention of the Ombudsman and some $$$s

key indicator for public transport’s efficiency and effectiveness.

In fact the truth is:• Rail costs are increasing 10% per year• Bus costs are static
The Transport Rate Increasing 5%The costs of providing passenger transport services usually increase each year.The last year has seen an over 5% increase in costs with operators being reimbursed by Council through increased contract payments.
(GWRC Long Term Plan)

ALL fares are increasing
An increase in fare levels is likely to be needed to maintain the required contribution
from passengers ... If the passenger contribution was to drop, the ratepayers and NZTA would have to contribute more. A 3% revenue increase equates to a $0.7m impact
on rates ...In fact, bus users are being made to pay muchmore than 50% of their costs to hide that railusers are paying less than 50% of their costs !
due to rail cost increasesGWRC says bus fares must go up even when they are alreadymore expensive than cars.Meanwhile it funds rail users to get extra discount fares that meanlong distance rail journeys are less than half or even a quarter that
of a car !

GWRC Loves Rail so much• It wants more new Matangis• Ganz-Mavag refurbishment claimed = $80M• The minimum cost is actually = $60M• It states new Matangis will cost $135M• But this is just the trains• It states it needs the additional capacity• But refuses to consider bus alternatives• Want a good price, use the Superbus !

GWRC Loves Rail so much• It subsidises rail more heavily than bus• It rates Wellington City to subsidise others• It increases bus fares to fund rail costs• It provides rail monthly discounts but not bus• It keeps investing only rail not bus• It refuses to subsidise alternative bus services such as the 211, 97 or 91/Flyer

GWRC Loves Rail so muchThey Bought the Company !GWRL: owns rolling stock and stationsis now the 2nd Largest PT Operatorhas no permanent staff, insteadit is operated by GWRC transport officers
who also decide PT funding for the region
recently applied to make GWRL “for profit” The GWRC LTP has $80M for GM Refurbbut GWRL already budgets for Maitangis!

The Regional Council’s action do not match it’s plans or strategy:•
The costs of PT services are not known• The rates funding of rail is not understood and kept secret by the regionalcouncil• The PT Strategy cannot succeed without investment in buses as well as rail• How do ratepayers know that it is the Greater Wellington Regional Council thatcontrols Greater Wellington Rail Ltd and not the other way around ?
