LTA's decision on the issue of 5% bus fare increase without following proper procedures demonstrates high-handedness on its part and reflects poorly on its obligation to the public.
"Land Transport authority is acting arrogantly by trying to undermine my appeal and obviously there is an attempt to sabotage the hearing," said Mr.
The basis of the appeal is a challenge to procedure followed by LTA to consider and grant the increases without proper notice to the public of application for the increase by the Bus Operators Association.

 Land Transport Safety Authority v Casey [NZCA]
Under s 166 of the Land Transport Act 1998, the Director of the LTSA, acting by his delegate, had granted an exemption from certain safety standards otherwise applicable to a second hand Mercedes Benz motor vehicle brought into New Zealand by Mr Casey when he emigrated from South Africa to New Zealand in 1999.
The central issue in the case was the validity of one of the conditions the Director imposed on the exemption which prevented any change in ownership of the vehicle for a three year period starting from the date of the exemption, 19 August 1999.
The Director is empowered to grant an exemption from compliance with the applicable standards under s 166 of the Land Transport Act 1998 (the 1998 Act) and under r 36 of the 1990 Regulations.

The latest report Options for the Future: Land Transport Pricing Study (the Report) prepared by the Ministry of Transport reviews the Ministry's position on issues covered in the 1996 discussion documents in the light of public responses and sets out five possible options for institutional reform.
We note that the Ministry of Transport and Transfund are currently reviewing the justification for public transport subsidies separately from the Land Transport Pricing Study (and that the above working group is also studying this issue).
We consider that the grounds (in efficiency terms) for subsidising public transport are weak at best (being based largely on a second-best argument that road users would be willing to pay people to use public transport if that relieved road congestion).
