Canty transport subsidy increased
Canterbury is the main beneficiary in an Urban Transport Council decision to top up its subsidy allocations for 1987-88. The council made its decision yesterday, saying its first allotment was a hasty one because the Government gave funding levels late.
Canterbury, which objected loudly about the cut in funding, has received $312,380 on top
of its original subsidy of $4,919,784. .
The chairman of the Canterbury United Council’s regional transport committee, Mr Oscar Alpers, said it was clear the protests “had not fallen on deaf ears.” He said the extra subsidy would help replenish its reserve money, which was being used to cushion the effect of fare and rate increases.
