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.

Faith and Val are joined in the studio today by Elliot Fishman of the Institute for Sensible Transport to discuss the Victorian State Government's proposed ban on people travelling with e-bikes on trains. We share our bike moments and our first ever sponsorship by Bicycle Network.We discuss the policy and data vacumn within which this decision is being made, the ensuing lack of impact assesment and the ongoing failure of the State Government when it comes to this important part of the transport system. Despite calls from Coroner Audrey Jamison seven years ago for the better regulation of e-bikes little has been done, even after the Morrison government made the importation of more dangerous non-compliant bikes easier in 2021. While the  ban seeks to address the issue of battery fires on trains, especially in tunnels, the ban is imposed on e-bikes whose batteries have never been associated with these fires. The ban will impact people accessing work, addressing shortfalls in the PT system, dangerous gaps in the cycling network, the elderley, disabled and more. We discuss the likely outcomes of the ban; people on safe e-bikes not being able to access work or recreational opportunities and other services, people buying more powerful e-bikes to make the journey previously done by train, and vulnerable workers and other usesr being exposed to fines and harassment.With no timeframe established for the ban, and even less urgancy once it is in place,  there is little hope it will ever be revoked. You can take part in the survey or make a submission here. Write to The Hon. Gabrielle Williams, Transport Minister using the details here and also write or call your local MP.

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."

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.

Intense weather of the Easter weekend, and latest developments in Auckland's public transport system w/ Julie Fairey 24 April, 2025

Since Wednesday last week, Auckland and the wider Northland region were warned of heavy rain and winds expected across the North Island.  On Friday night however, as severe thunderstorms struck Auckland, residents were not sent severe weather alerts until after the worst part of the storm had already arrived. Many Aucklanders have called out the slow response system, in an effort yet again to revitalise discussions around Auckland's storm and natural disaster preparedness. As well, Auckland's public transport system is under the microscope this month as Aucklanders endure just over a fortnight without train services, as workers seek to speed up the completion of Kiwi Rail. Yesterday, Transport Minister Chris Bishop also announced a multi-billion dollar project for a Northland Expressway that he says will improve public transport.  In the meantime, public transport prices have increased — for ratepayers and users —- translating to less bang and more buck for Aucklanders.  Producer Sara spoke with Councillor Julie Fairey about both of these topics, firstly by asking if she was satisfied with Auckland Council's response pace in the lead up to severe weather conditions.
