Labour's hinting it'll reprioritise Roads of National Significance projects in the Land Transport Fund, if elected this year.

It's promising to cap public transport fares at $20 a week in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, and $10 everywhere else.

It says it'll pay for it from the fund, at $65 million a year.

National claims the fund's already oversubscribed. 

Labour's Tangi Utikere says that's because of National's own projects. 

"Even the Government itself has realised that there needs to be a reprioritisation in terms of many of the projects."
