ACT Greens Push for 24/7 Free Travel
The Australian Greens are hopeful of winning a vote to expand fare-free travel for students, seniors, and concession-card holders.
"For most people it's just a couple of dollars, but someone really struggling with the cost of living shouldn't have to choose between a third meal in the day or getting where they need to go,"
said ACT Greens Transport Spokesperson, Andrew Braddock MLA. This policy aims to make life more affordable for families and individuals impacted by the cost of living.
- Give parents a cost-free way to get their kids to school
- Expand free travel to part-time uni students who are juggling work to make ends meet
The Greens took this policy to the election to make Canberra an easy and affordable place to get around, and they are hopeful it could get unanimous support across the Assembly.
The Canberra Liberals promised at the 2024 election that they would deliver, "Free public transport for students, seniors and concession card holders. Every day."
