I can't believe we have been hit with another 15% increase to public transport fares, and will be again next year. According to the press, use of public transport is on the decrease, and I can only think of one reason why. PRICE. If the government wants more people to use public transport, in order to get more cars off the road, and aim for a clear environment, they need to be decreasing the fares, not increasing them.
Labor may think they are creating the worlds best public transport system, but it's a shame that no-one will be using it, because we can't afford it. Families and individuals can't afford the old fares, yet alone the new increases.
Decrease the fares, customers will return.
Increase the fares, customers will continue to leave.
It's that simple.
