The Government's meeting with Police and transport officials today over Wednesday's fatal stabbing in Auckland. 

Police are expected to lay charges against a 37-year-old man who handed himself in to North Shore Police Station yesterday afternoon. 

It came after a woman was fatally stabbed on a bus in Onehunga on Wednesday in a seemingly random attack. 

Transport Minister Simeon Brown told Ryan Bridge he and Police Minister Mark Mitchell will be sitting down with Police and Auckland Transport today. 

He says the key issue is to ensure they're using the resources they have effectively, keeping public transport users safe, and looking at what more they can do.
