Tertiary student Chris Wiggins was hoping for a boost for transport in the Budget - and was happy with what was announced.
The 21-year-old - who is studying engineering at the University of Auckland - said the increase in money available to put into roading was welcome.
"I really like the extra money being put towards roading in Auckland. I understand this doesn't directly affect the whole of the country, but it has huge economic advantages for others in New Zealand."
Finance Minister Bill English also flagged a $480 million cut to ACC levies from next year, including cuts to motor vehicle levies which could cut the average private car levy by about $130 a year.
"As a user with a moped as well as a car, I'm really, really happy about the ACC levy drops," Mr Wiggins said.
