Hope from those who make their money from transport, that new Budget funding will be properly spent

The 2.7-billion-dollar package for roads, rail and public transport includes 940-million for repairing storm-damaged roads and 1-billion-dollars to speed up the Roads of National Significance.

That's on top of the more than 20-billion-dollars from the National Land Transport Fund, already laid out in the draft Government Policy Statement.

Transporting New Zealand interim chief executive Dom Kalasih says they welcome the investment - with the proviso it's well spent.
