Bus fares across Taranaki look set to increase from July, in response to a Government directive that will result in public transport fares rising across the country. Taranaki Regional Council’s Executive, Audit & Risk Committee yesterday recommended the Council adopt a 25% fare increase for adults and an average 13.5% increase for youth from 1 July 2025.
