@jedsetter @Alpha1Nine sure, but a federal party has no direct influence on public transport quality; it's mostly a local government issue, with a little bit of state thrown in for good measure, and heavily influenced by whether the local government contracts a provider or pays for its own PT provision.
I'm even dubious about how a federal government, or influencing party, would drive change to fares at a local level? Do they shovel earmarked money at local councils? Reading the policy, it's about influencing.
I'm a Greens member, and heavily involved (even running a booth tomorrow), and I think this policy is more noise than anything else.
All that said, PT should be free at point of use. It's a huge socioeconomic lift when it is and opens up access to work in places people who have to live in exurbs might not otherwise be able to get to (see also housing, 15 minute cities, and the fact that people shouldn't have to commute vast time/distance to get to work).
