Bad rap for Auckland public transport

I was following up an NZ Herald newslink, and stumbled across this World Economic Forum research into relative/comparative global city costs of commuting using public transport. It's apparently based on the cost of a one month ticket. You can see it here.

The key information is contained in this table....

Auckland fares badly, according to this international measure.

Interestingly, the link to this story came from another World Economic Forum article about the rollout of free public transport in Estonia. A success story according to this account.
