When Fullers set its fare levels, do you think:

It can do what it wants

It should consult its customers

It should consider wider social issues than just company revenue

As a monopoly, pricing should be regulated

Please indicate your opinion on Waiheke bus fares:

Reset

What do you think about the bus service on Waiheke?

Their frequency and routes suit me

There should be more buses than only meeting ferries

There should be more bus routes serving other parts of the island

The bus fleet should be converted to low emission or electric power

The bus company should be split up into competing mini buses or taxis with set fares

The public transport regulator should tenders for competing bus services

WHARVES on Waiheke and in Auckland.

Matiatia wharf is owned by Auckland City Council. The Auckland wharves are owned by ARTA. Fullers Ferries owns the pontoons for ferry docking. Some people think this set up impedes access by new ferry companies to provide competition.

Who do you think should have full ownership and management of the wharves?

Auckland City Council

Auckland Regional Council

Central Government

Ferry operators

Jointly by Council and operators

A standalone commercial wharves company

Thinking about the future of public transport to/from Waiheke Island and on the island:

Integrated ticketing between all transport modes should be a priority

Stricter emission standards should be imposed
