Erstmal für drei Monate.

Cabinet agreed to reduce fuel excise duty and road user charges by 25 cents per litre, for 3 months, which Ardern says will mean "a potential saving of between $11.50 and $17.25 per tank of fuel".

In addition, all public transport fares will be halved for the next three months. "We hope this ensures that where the option of shifting how we travel is available, this makes it more affordable to take that public transport option up." [...]

She says the government has been working on additional policy over the past week, but says current transport projects and legislative changes - expanding public transport, and making public transport cheaper, and supporting fuel-efficient, hybrid or electric vehicles - must continue.
