Mayor Brown's proposed public transport changes welcomed by advocacy groups

Auckland mayor Wayne Brown's public transport plan is being praised.

The Public Transport Users Association says his idea to cap total transport costs at $50 a week will mean big savings for people who live further away from the CBD.

National Coordinator Jon Reeves says allowing people to use pay-wave instead of HOP cards is great too.

"That makes it a lot easier, because I know a lot of people around the city who say- I can't use public transport, don't know where to get a HOP card from, all that jazz."
