Great points here that hadn’t occurred to me about boundaries between councils and the forces working against inter-regional public transport.

Great article.

I remember a time when there were NZ Rail Road services busses providing connections throughout NZ. I presume that a number of these services were provided social reasons. Was there a mandate prior to 1980's for NZ Rail to provide these connections?

Did the change in policies and corporations of the railways in the 1980's effectively destroy the inter- regional connectivity?
