38398 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: How does the assessment in the October 2024 Gateway review of the National Ticketing Solution reconcile with NZTA's advice provided to the Minister of Transport in early 2025 that the programme was on target to be completed on time and within budget?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised that the October 2024 Gateway Review and the advice I received in February 2025 were correct, based on the information available at the time they were completed.
