Reasons To Disagree

Public transport will either live or die on its desirability, not on its subsidised status

Its still not going to work

The motorist already pays through his nose for the "priviledge" of driving on our pathetic road system.

roading companies are very wealthy due to overprice machinery supplied by other countrys therefore forcing us to pay more fore roading, can solve this by the government put 1 billion into manufacturing new zealand made equipment

Reasons To Agree

Our public transport infrastructure has been neglected for decades. Peak oil, high oil prices are going to mean that a lack of public transport will really hobble our economy. This is an urgent issue.

Motivation to use public transport

Any way to improve our public transport networks is a good thing.

Reasons for Remain Neutral

special taxes should cover what they where collected for - was public transport mentioned?
