Episode Details

Canberras government introduces a cap on public transport fares, limiting monthly payments to $68.20 from April 8th to June 30th. This move aims to alleviate the cost-of-living squeeze, particularly for daily commuters. The government also reduced the number of paid trips required to unlock free rides for the rest of the month. Additionally, fuel prices dropped after the federal government cut the petrol tax in half. The ACT Greens had previously advocated for free rides like in Victoria and Tasmania, but the government is focusing on boosting public transport use and managing bus demand. More relief is expected from ACT and federal talks on Thursday, targeting fuel fixes and family-friendly perks.
