Show Notes
Pressure mounts on NSW government to offer free public transport amid soaring fuel prices, but Premier Chris Minns resists, citing resource waste and need for long-term family support. Commuters already heavily subsidized, with weekly caps unchanged for years. Transport analysts propose shorter perks, like a fare-free weekend, to boost usage and retail without massive losses. Opposition parties push for Easter weekend freebies or Tasmanias three-month model, as Victoria launches a one-month offer. Opal fare decisions loom, and rail upgrades continue despite delays, intensifying the debate.
