Dr Caroline Shaw: Wellington leading the way on public transport
There are calls for the rest of the country to follow in Wellington's steps when it comes to transport.
A new study by the University of Otago has found if other cities adopted a more sustainable transport system like the capital's, their residents would be in better health and get more physical exercise.
Lead author, Dr Caroline Shaw told Mike Hosking that people from Wellington use more public transport, walk and cycle to get around than any other city.
"If you look at other flat cities like Christchurch and Hamilton for example, they are much flatter so much of these things should be much easier to do."
