Public transport leaders say increasing fares is counter productive.

NZTA's ordering councils take a higher revenue share from users and agree to new targets by December 19.

As an example, the move would mean a Wellington commuter currently spending $10 on buses a day would have to spend $17.

Greater Wellington Regional Council Chair Darran Ponter told Ryan Bridge the amount coming from users has slipped, but there needs to be a compromise.

He says this has a lot to do with the Covid-19 period and operators trying to get people back onto buses.
