Public transport in New Zealand : ウィキペディア英語版 | Public transport in New Zealand
Public transport in New Zealand exists in many of the country's urban areas, and takes a number of forms. Bus transport is the main form of public transport. Two major cities, Auckland and Wellington, also have suburban rail systems which have been gaining more patronage and new investment in recent years. Some cities also operate local ferry services. There are no remaining tram (i.e. light rail) systems active anywhere in New Zealand (except for some museum systems and a tourist-oriented service at Wynyard Quarter in Auckland), though trams (and their horse-drawn pedecessors) once had a major role in New Zealand's public transport. ==Usage== According to the Ministry for the Environment, the overall use of public transport in New Zealand is low, with only around 2.5% of trips making use of it.〔(Ministry for the Environment - Public transport )〕 This figure is for the whole of New Zealand and includes centres that may have limited public transport. New Zealand was rated only 22nd in a survey for public transport use amongst 28 countries worldwide, with only 56% always, or sometimes, using public transport to reach work. At the same time, this share was much higher than for example in the US, with only 34% usage.〔''(Kiwis not keen on public transport )'' - Kelly Services, via TVNZ, Friday 27 April 2007〕 Considering the regions like Auckland, where the overall share is about 5%,〔(Mode of Transport, Figure for New Zealand Regions ) (from the Travel Survey Highlights 1997-98, New Zealand Ministry of Transport)〕 this figure is comparable to numerous North American and Australian cities.〔(Private Vehicle & Public Transport Market Share: International Urban Areas: 1990/1991 ) (from the Wendell Cox Consultancy website)〕 However, use of public transport is higher in major cities, which have more developed systems. According to the 2006 census, 17% of Wellingtonians took public transport to work, as did 7% of Aucklanders.〔(Metlink website - Statistics )〕 Wendell Cox, public policy consultant said in 2001 that Auckland's "public transport's downtown work trip market share is 31%" compared to Wellington's 26%. Cox further stated that no other centre in New Zealand achieved as high a market share as the Auckland city centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Urban Transport Planning in New Zealand: From Fantasy to Reality )〕
