Winston Peters has found a strong ally in his bid to disestablish Auckland Transport. 

The New Zealand First leader's proposed a bill to give the city's Council full control of the agency.

AT currently operates somewhat independency. 

It already has the backing of Mayor Wayne Brown, who says anything putting control of Auckland’s transport back in Aucklanders' hands is a good thing.

Peters told Mike Hosking that if common sense prevails, it will go hosing through Parliament.

He said that AT was set up in 2009 and has been a serious failure, with massive complains continuing year after year.
