Northland offers free buses for World Car Free Day
With petrol prices climbing once again, more people will be considering using alternate transport options. And today just so happens to be World Car Free Day. The global movement, which started 26 years ago, encourages motorists to give up their cars, to reduce air pollution and ease traffic congestion. Northland Regional Council has taken up the challenge, offering free travel on all its CityLink, SchoolLink and BusLink services for the day. Councillor Amy Macdonald is the chair of the Whangarei Public Transport Working Party and spoke to John Campbell from the city's Rose Street bus hub.
