Cantabrians are calling for more frequent – and faster – public transport options, but they are no closer to knowing when it will come.
Residents from across the region told the Canterbury (ECan) Regional Transport Committee on Monday to be more ambitious with its proposed regional land transport plan.
However, nearly half of the proposed $10.8 billion transport plan (which spans a decade worth of transport projects, including maintenance work, safety improvements and ways to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions) relies on funding from central government, which may not eventuate.
