Description:

It has been revealed that the Government considered using private company Bluebridge to replace the current Interislander fleet.

It’s just the latest in the saga that is the Cook Strait ferries, after years of negotiations, debate, and an axed contract.

But it’s hardly the first time we’ve had a major transport project face delays and changes.

All forms of transport are eyeing big investments, but how long before we actually get some movement?

Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB political reporter Azaria Howell is with us to dig into the politics behind the country’s transport networks.
