"Earlier this month, New Zealand released a new plan for sustainable public
transport to start shunting transport emissions from currently 39% of total
domestic carbon dioxide production towards net zero.

Transport minister Michael Wood announced the plan would:

support the provision of ‘on-demand’ public transport services […] deliver
routes and services that reflect community needs and incentivise the
decarbonisation of the fleet.

However, what is missing is a roadmap to achieving these sustainability goals.
Decarbonisation of the public transport fleet is already happening in parts of
New Zealand and examples of current local best practice can help us understand
what can be deployed at a national scale and where it is likely to have the
most impact."
