| 摘要： | The last municipally-owned operator in New Zealand bowed out in late last year, following Christchurch City Council's decision to sell its Red Bus operation after it lost many of its route contracts in the most recent tendering round issued by transport authority Canterbury Regional Council. Its fleet had shrunk from around 150 vehicles in 2018 to just a third of that at the end. The purchaser is Ritchies Transport, a nationwide firm with over 1,200 vehicles. Deregulation and privatisation of the bus industry in New Zealand started in the 1980s. Stagecoach was one of the beneficiaries, purchasing Wellington City Transport in 1992 (and selling it in 2005). However, concern about increasing subsidies as passenger numbers fell led to legislation in 2008 that paved the way for urban services to be reformed. The Public Transport Operating Model returned control to the public sector in 2013, with a six-year transition to a fully-tendered model, broadly equivalent to the franchising system being proposed in the UK. |
