Auckland has the third most expensive public transport in the world
10 June 2018
A new Deutsche Bank report says you'll need $174.74 for a monthly ticket to get around the city by bus, train and ferry.
Only London - $247 - and Dublin - $187.11 - are more expensive than Auckland in the study of nearly 50 cities.
Wellington is the 12th most expensive city at $143.89 for a monthly ticket.
An AT spokesman said when calculating fares the council body has to find a balance between affordable and appealing public transport and providing value for money for ratepayers and taxpayers who subsidise fares.
New York, Tokyo, Sydney and Melbourne are all cheaper than Auckland.
