Podcasts about Public transport

Paying for public transport can be a big cost for commuters depending on where you live. In a cost of living crisis, some people are choosing to work more from home to avoid paying to get from A to B, but that's not the reality for everyone.

University students in Auckland are feeling the pinch when it comes to the cost of public transport. Auckland University of Technology Students Association president Alicia Lemmer spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

It costs just $2 a ride to get a bus in Otago, and despite a 50 cent increase coming into effect in the next few weeks, it's still a cheap way to get around. Councillor Andrew Noone spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

From Kebbi and Niger in the north to Lagos in the south, overloaded and poorly regulated boats capsize, leaving hundreds dead each year. So, why do they keep happening, and what will it take to improve safety? Host Eddy Micah Jr. speaks to Captain Caleb Danladi, a seasoned maritime expert, and DW's Jamiu Abiodun — who's been documenting the wave of tragedies on Nigeria's waterways.

Clare County Council is being urged to promote public transport routes here in order to harness the potential of a new free travel initiative. The Department of Transport has announced that free travel on all TFI-operated services has been extended to all children between the ages of five and eight. Free travel on public transport was previously available to children up to the age of five, and the announcement means almost 236,000 additional children can now avail of the services at no cost. Ciaran Tiernan of community group Better Ennis insists the initiative will only be effective if people are aware of their local public transport routes.

If you had to dash out for a bottle of milk, could you just stroll to the supermarket? If the answer's yes, you might be living in a 15-minute city. What are these neighbourhoods, exactly, and why do conspiracy theorists hate them?

Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC , Kedibone Diale-Tlabela, has called on South Africans to protect the e-hailing industry. Diale-Tlabela made the call following a meeting with taxi associations and e-hailing drivers at Maponya Mall on Monday. The session was aimed at bringing peace between the two transportation services, following the brutal murder of 27-year-old e-hailing driver Mthokozisi Mvelase last week Wednesday evening. Mvelase was fatally shot at the mall, allegedly by disgruntled taxi operators. His vehicle along with another e-hailing vehicle were then torched. Diale-Tlabela say's there must be peace in the public transport industry...

Golden Arrow spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer speaks to Lester Kiewit about the ongoing impact of attacks on the company’s buses in Cape Town. Over the past ten years, more than 100 Golden Arrow buses have been torched during violent protests, criminal acts, and disputes linked to jobs and tenders, leaving commuters stranded and increasing operational and insurance costs for the company. Dyke-Beyer discusses how Golden Arrow responds to these attacks, the safety measures in place for passengers and staff, and the difficulties in holding perpetrators accountable. She also highlights the wider consequences for communities who depend on reliable bus services to access work, school, and essential services, and the broader effect on mobility and public safety in the city.

Following on from the recent discussion with the City of Cape Town about the scaling back of the Dial-a-Ride service due to a nearly R1 million monthly budget shortfall, Lester Kiewit speaks to Anthony Ghillino, wheelchair user and general manager of the QuadPara Association Western Cape. From 8 September 2025, the service will be limited to transporting eligible wheelchair users and people with severe walking impairments between home and work, cutting trips to schools, hospitals, and social visits. Despite the City’s efforts to secure additional funding, many users will lose access to essential transport beyond commuting.

TOPIC 1 EDITORIAL: STADIUM TRAIN I love this plan for an express passenger train to get people into Christchurch for events at the new One New Zealand Stadium, which is due to open in April next year. But I'll love it even more if the councils around here chip-in to pay for a new railway station at the corner of Moorhouse Avenue and Colombo Street, which the rail company behind the plan is describing as a “key ingredient”. Because, otherwise, there's a 4.3 kilometre journey by road from the current station at Tower Junction - which could take about 22 minutes by car. Private outfit Mainland Rail has come up with the idea to get nearly 6,000 people into Christchurch from Rolleston and Rangiora (and even possibly Ashburton). It's saying an express service from Rolleston would get people into the centre of town in 20 minutes. It would be about 25 minutes from Rangiora. It's worked out how it can work-in with the KiwiRail freight train schedules and it's already bought second-hand carriages to run the service. But it's the new railway station on the corner of Moorhouse and Colombo that needs sorting out. And, with the likes of Selwyn and Waimakariri councils not putting any money at all into the stadium itself, this is the opportunity - at last - for them to have some skin in the game. Especially, considering that this service is all about getting people from their areas into town for the big matches and concerts. Maybe even Ashburton council could get involved. ECAN, as well - considering it's been pushing the idea of commuter rail services in the Greater Christchurch area. I know there will probably be no shortage of people who think that, if a private company wants to set-up this service, then it should cover all of the costs. Including the costs of a new train station. But I don't see it that way, at all. Because some sort of drop-off point for train passengers at that spot on the Colombo/Moorhouse corner would be brilliant - and not just for people using the stadium trains. There'll be others too who think it should be KiwiRail paying for it. But you can forget about Kiwirail coming up with the money anytime soon. If at all. So, if this thing is going to fly, then it's time for our local councils to step up. Who wouldn't want to see tourists getting on and off the Tranz Alpine service to the West Coast in the centre of town? Instead of that toy town train station at the back of Tower Junction. And if we are really serious about getting people in Rangiora and Rolleston to even entertain the idea of taking a train to work instead of driving, then we need to offer them something better than a train to Addington. This idea has the potential to be the start of something bigger and I think it's brilliantSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Businessman Dermot Desmond has said that he believes AI cars, or robotaxis, will completely replace private and public transport in the next 15 to 20 years.

"We are surprised and have no knowledge of GRTCC's announced 20% transport fare increase" - GPRTU

Public transport fares across Ghana are set to increase by 20% effective Friday, August 8, 2025.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) reported that public transport ridership in the first half of 2025 remains below pre-pandemic levels, averaging 7.47 million daily trips compared to 7.66 million in 2019. While train ridership has continued to grow, supported by an expanding rail network, bus ridership has declined, and weekday morning peak hour travel has not fully recovered. These trends reflect a deeper structural shift in travel behaviour influenced by flexible work arrangements, urban planning, and evolving commuter preferences. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Eric Fesselmeyer, Associate Professor of Economics, College of Integrative Studies, Singapore Management University, to discuss the public transport ridership decline and what more can be done to increase it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Earlier this week, Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien confirmed that dedicated transport police will be rolled out across all public transport. Most notably, Officers will have powers of arrest and detention.Dublin Bus have been calling for collaborative security measures to be put in place for some time now…Their Head of Strategic Communications and Engagement, Cliodhna Ni Fhatharta, joins Kieran to discuss.

The Green Party is pushing to reinstate passenger rail across the country - starting by connecting Tauranga and Auckland. It's launched a petition targeting the Minister for Rail to get it done. The party says it would cost $10 million over four years to extend the Te Huia train to Tauranga. But Transport Spokesperson Julie Anne Genter says it will cost more to achieve the long-term vision. "Total budget for all the projects, including a transformational improvement to the rail network - which would mean a two and a half hour train journey between Tauranga and Auckland - is about five and a half billion."

It's hoped the Shannon Airport Rail Link is one step closer to becoming a reality. It follows the inaugural visit from the Minister of State for International Road Transport, Logistics, Rails and Ports Seán Canney to the Clare base yesterday, which focused on improving public transport links. According to the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation's latest Aviation Report, 40% of visitors flying to Dublin end up travelling West, while Shannon Airport welcomed over 2 million passengers last year alone. Shannon Airport Group CEO Mary Considine says this must be reflected with more accessibility.

As part of a proposal to Government, The Shannon Airport Group is calling the advancement of the Shannon Airport Rail link and the implementation of the Shannon Estuary Economic Taskforce. Shannon Airport Group CEO, Mary Considine, says rail connectivity is essential for international airports.

Bus driving and social media influencing does not sound like it goes hand in hand, but some drivers are making it work. Ke-Xin Li reports.

According to UK government data, a total of 6.5 billion passenger journeys were completed using public transport vehicles like buses, trains and tram systems, in the year to March 2023.  Packed platforms, overcrowded carriages and uncertain schedules are just some of the issues public transport commuters have to deal with on a regular basis, not to mention the occasional strike. Being crammed into a tube, bus or train with other commuters can make you feel oppressed, fatigued or even suffocated. Some people experience dizziness and anxiety, and fainting isn't uncommon.

A vast change to what's been promised for Auckland City Rail Link's opening capacity. In 2022, it was reported 27 thousand peak passengers would be using the rail line from opening day next year. That's now gone down to 19 thousand passengers an hour at peak times. AT Public Transport Director Stacey van der Putten told Mike Hosking the 27 thousand figure merged a few different elements including design capacity, timetabling, and patronage. She points out that 19,000 is still a significant increase on current numbers, as it's still a 50% increase in patronage. Van der Putten told Hosking it will take some effort to rebuild confidence in the rail network after the prolonged disruption, but there's plenty of enthusiasm for the new line.

Whether it's a bus, train or subway, using any kind of public transport or transit system when you're travelling can be very eye-opening (and a lot of fun!). In my opinion it's a much better way to get to know a place you're visiting, and of course it's also usually the most budget-friendly way of getting around, another bonus. In this episode you'll hear from four guests who have stories to share about their use of public transport across the world. Ros Belford has some lovely stories about bus drivers in Italy; Martha Waslen talks about the famous subway of New York and the nearly equally well-known trains of Tokyo; Scott Antcliffe compares his experience of public transport in the UK with recent travels in Singapore and Berlin; and Megan Frye gives a good explanation of some of the reasons why public transport helps you get to know a city, and even a country.
