Back to EpisodesPublic Transport Surge in WA: Commuters Switch to Save on Fuel
Description
Public transport usage in Western Australia surges as petrol prices skyrocket, with a ten to fifteen percent increase in bus, train, and ferry boardings. Cheap capped fares and new Metronet rail lines are drawing more riders, particularly from outer suburbs. Commuters are switching to public transport to avoid higher fuel costs, leading to packed trains and full parking lots. The government plans to monitor the situation and support affordable transport options as fuel prices continue to rise.
