Poll: Why not scrap Auckland's public transport fares?

Reporter Franklin County News

Hi, neighbours in a recent article Todd Niall proposed a novel solution to Auckland's transport woes... make public transport fare-free.

Niall argues scrapping fares is a powerful incentive to make public transport irresistible, cutting pollution and travel times.

So I'm curious for us out in Franklin what would this mean?
Maybe better commute times to the Big City? Or is the idea doomed to fail?
