The New Zealand government is believed to have replaced the program chief of its planned nationwide ticketing system as concerns escalate among the country’s transport officials over delays in the 15-year, NZ$1.39 billion (US$840.4 million) project, Mobility Payments has learned.
The believed dismissal of the program director and appointment of a new chief comes amid reports that a governance group that includes national and local officials has launched an independent review into what has gone wrong with the rollout.
