Human after all@SeaFury Why is it free and when does it end?
@humanhorseshoes Fuel price increase. This means I can get to Hobart and back for free. 209km trip
ahistorical immaterialist@SeaFury @humanhorseshoes regional coach travel is free?! Nice!
@jimbob every bus! @humanhorseshoes
Anthony 🇦🇺🦘🐨🪃🌟✨️🕯🧙♀️🏏🧩🎭🪁@humanhorseshoes @SeaFury looks like it ends July 1st.
Still have normal bus fares in Canberra, which are free for me anyway, except during peak hours weekdays.
Daniel Reeders@SeaFury Could you tell me more?
@onekind State govt announced it to help with fuel costs. I guess they’re paying for it 👏

Dgar@SeaFury see? Proof that if they’re serious about getting people on public transport for all the benefits it brings, they can do it at any time.
@dgar Absolutely! It gas been a really popular move 👏❤️
bencourtice@bencourtice @dgar YUP that's why I left it LOL!
skatercat🛼 🍉@SeaFury That’s fantastic. Gotta love Tassie.
@skatercat I saw maybe Sydney might be too?
@SeaFury I saw Melbourne is starting free public transport in April . Nothing so far here in Adelaide unfortunately.

John Deters@AnnonBudgie @SeaFury 50c is dumb. It costs at least that much to collect, process, and enforce payments. That's savings on maintenance on turnstiles, payment terminals, card readers, networking, servers, IT, signage, customer help lines, driver time wasted arguing with customers, bank interchange fees, etc. They'd save money by making ridership free AND as a side benefit would increase the use of public transit.
@targetdrone
They've made a motza on enforcement!
The bus drivers are not required to enforce... that is done by the enforcement team
Nowadays if you don't have a ticket you get a $300 (I think.. could be more) fine, 1 warning.. no excuses
My old public transport fees were around $10 a day (and I get concession fares)
@SeaFury
@AnnonBudgie @SeaFury All transit fees do is make selfish people happy. "I ain't paying for no buses for no poors!" Or a politician who can say "vote for me and those poors will pay their own way!"
