It is important to be aware that public transport is the only option for some people. This may be due to them not owning a car or not being able to drive. It can also be the result of a disability, an injury or cognitive impairment.
We encourage Waka Kotahi to continue talking with older people and those with disabilities, along with the organisations that champion the rights of these population groups, so that fair and equitable access to transport systems is achieved.
