More details around plans to charge Wellingtonians for parking at train stations

The regional council is considering the move once integrated ticketing comes into force - to encourage people to think about whether they need to drive to take the train.

Regional Council Chair Daran Ponter says charging will assist the network - by forcing people to think about their car use.

He says further bus services, and a push of walking and cycling, would result in a lower use of carparks.
