Contracts for rail and buses
What is PTOM?
The Public Transport Operating Model (PTOM) became law in 2013 and created a strategic change in the way Wellington's public transport system is planned and procured. PTOM aims to build long-term commercial partnerships between regional authorities and public transport operators, to improve services and grow patronage.
