Back to EpisodesFree Public Transport in Victoria for April
Description
Victorias government unveils free public transport for April, aiming to reduce car trips and alleviate fuel crisis. Daily Myki caps at $11.40, saving commuters up to $250. The move comes as a response to the US-Israel strike on Iran, causing oil prices to surge and leading to fuel shortages. The heavily subsidized system, with three billion dollars from the state last year, is expected to handle the increased usage. Farmers and the Victorian Greens advocated for this measure to prevent harvest delays due to fuel scarcity.
