REO SOON ON AUCKLAND BUSES.
The Auckland Maori Statutory Board has its sights set on Auckland Transport as a vehicle to drive wider use of te reo Maori.
Chair David Taipari says it has pushed the council agency to use more bilingual and te reo Maori signs.
He says it was a waiting for the council's Te Waka Anga Mua Maori advisory unit to come up with an implementation strategy, which has now been delivered.
It shouldn't cost a lot.
"Signage is a part of what they do so why can't they do both languages at the same time. We have no reason to understand who there is any opposition to that and we are comfortable that Auckland Transport is going to get on with this," Mr Taipari says.
He hopes the new signs will start going up next month.
