Transport inequities are proving a barrier for some young people in Invercargill, preventing them from joining in group activities.
The issue was highlighted at an Invercargill City Council infrastructure services committee meeting on Tuesday, where public transport fares were discussed.
During debate, councillor Grant Dermody said he wasn’t clear on what the 30 year vision for public transport looked like for the city.
Dermody said the council needed to look at connecting its network to different areas, such as Bluff or Sandy Point.
Council manager strategic asset planning Doug Rodgers agreed there was work to be done.
