Public transport
Public transportation is a far more efficient mode of personal transport than a private vehicle. Benefits to the environment include less pollution and energy use and less need to occupy and pave land for roading and parking spaces.
Unfortunately, public transport use in New Zealand is low. Only 2.2 percent of all trips are made by bus, and 0.25% by rail, mostly in Wellington. Ferries also operate in the Auckland and Wellington areas.
Public transport is more likely to be used if the services are frequent and reliable; it is convenient, comfortable and safe; and the time it takes to arrive at the destination is comparable to using a private vehicle.
