Show Notes
Victorias government is offering free public transport for April, covering Metro, V/Line, trams, and buses. This move aims to reduce car trips and alleviate fuel shortages caused by soaring oil prices. Full-time commuters could save around $250 per week. The system is already heavily subsidized, with the state spending $3.2 billion last year and collecting $736 million in fares. Despite the crisis, public transport usage is down 2.3% from last year. This free month provides time to ease fuel pressures and develop long-term solutions.
