1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Growing upset up a bus lanes and revenue streams in Wellington.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: So the council pulls the five point eight million a year.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: That's their biggest infringement earner. Twenty six thousand drivers are

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: caught on the Cambridge Terraces bus lane alone. That's an

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: average of fifty five a day. The tickets on hundred

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars. Andrew Little's the marrin he's with us,

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Andrew Morning, Coome Morning Mike. This is de terrent versus

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: revenue or what.

9
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: Well. I don't want it to be revenue at all.

10
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: We don't want to want to generate revenue by penalizing people.

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: So look, the bus lanes are deeferent reason we want

12
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: the bus to run on time. There is a genuine

13
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: question about whether the bus lanes need to be designated

14
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: that twelve hours a day, seven days a week. So

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: I think there is a question there, and my own experience,

16
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: particularly Cambridge Terror says I'm not sure about the quality

17
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: of the signage, so I think that doesn't need to

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: be looked at. And so what we're seeing is the

19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: number of people being pinned has been decreasing month pay month,

20
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: but are still high and I think those questions arise.

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Do you have the power to do anything about it

22
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: or do you have to get the whole council to

23
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: agree with you.

24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: Oh, the council has to agree, but it doesn't stop

25
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: us make an effort to review it and look at

26
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: it and see if we can come up with a

27
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: section that it's just both objectives, both the buses that

28
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: need to meet a schedule and get on time at

29
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: the times they are operating, but also people having access

30
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: to the road in a sensible sort of way so

31
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: they can get about their business and their cars good stuff.

32
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully something good comes out of it. They've changed

33
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: around in Auckland. We had a local one that was

34
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: seven days a week, twenty four hours a day until

35
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: someone came along and said, you a bunch of dickheads,

36
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: do something about it, so they changed it. Finished at

37
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: ten o'clock in the morning, which we're moderately pleased about.

38
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to

39
