New Zealand: Green Party to invest USD 500m in Wellington transport

Authorities will invest half a billion dollars over five years upgrading Wellington’s public transport and walking and cycling infrastructure.  The policy is part of the Green Party’s vision for a vibrant, people-friendly Wellington with carbon-free public transport.
“We will upgrade Wellington’s transport fleet to become all-electric, build an affordable and modern light rail network down the city spine by 2020 (and by 2025 to the airport), upgrade, rather than scrap, the trolley buses and replace diesel buses with electric buses over time,” said Green Party Co-leader Russel Norman.
