Might have something to do with the fact that we have baled the BNZ out twice, Air New Zealand and the railways. |

As far as I can see, public transport will only ever work with subsidies. Not sure if saving any business is good, the maket is saying get lost or bad management isd the problem. |

There is no subsidy for operating the service and while we were hopeful it would remain commercially viable after the extension of the Kapiti line to Waikanae and introduction of Matangi to the line, we are now seeing a worrying trend,.” |
