The cost of public transport in Auckland's about to go up despite service quality going down.
Bus ferry and trains rides will cost 6.5 percent more from April. Auckland Transport says that works out at about 20 cents per journey while half price fares are in place.
But the hike comes as more than a thousand of bus trips a week are being cancelled and up to 30 percent of ferry commutes, due to driver shortages.
AT Interim Chief Executive, Mark Lambert blames inflation for the price hike.
