About this listen
The Te Huia train service is hoping it can prove its critics wrong as its existence is extended for another year.
The service, which connects Auckland and Hamilton will run at least until June next year, with NZTA picking up 60% of the bill.
It's been criticised in the past for low passenger numbers and revenue.
Waikato Regional Council Transport Committee Chair Angela Strange told Mike Hosking that in terms of farebox recovery, the service is actually doing really well when compared to other public transport in New Zealand.
She says they’re sitting at close to 16%, and it’s closer per kilometre than the metro trains and ferries in Auckland.
