Trial starts on 6th December for a period of at least 1 Year.

Commuters will have access to free travel on all light rail services and bus services running from around 5:30am to 11:00pm, and light rail from 6:00am to 1:00am on Friday and into Saturday morning.

Commuters will still be required to tap on and off each service to support data collection, but will not be charged for the fare.

      As was the last thing they rolled out when they did the shop small incentives lol… sooo much money for systems that can’t work

        The new system has quite a few bugs and nobody is currently being fined for not having a card / not tapping etc. It'll take weeks/months to settle down and I can't see fines happening until the system is running smoothly for everyone.

      Uh… why should NSW do anything?

      NSW has bigger network and thousands more employees. Who's going to cover the costs and high wages of public transport employees, who get greedy and go on strike every so often?

      Bend over the taxpayers. Right?

        You are telling it's ok for them to go on strike. These people are the ones stopping metro and driver less trains.

        I say they should be replaced asap

      Breathing air is currently free in NSW

    • GeneralSkunk on 27/11/2024 - 20:18

    Free public transport paid for by the rest of Australians who don't have free public transport.

    i didn't realise Canberra was large enough to even have trains

  • neonlight on 27/11/2024 - 20:21

    NSW when!? freaking lobbyist

  • DrScavenger on 27/11/2024 - 20:48

    Vic state would be financially better if they did this and didn't pay all those ticket checkers and extra protective officers needed for them
