The best way to help people reduce their fuel use is to give them more options.
We look forward to seeing more investment in walking, cycling and public transport in the upcoming Federal and State budgets. #auspol

Steamrail isn't free like V/Line is right now, but at least you know you'll get a seat!

This map of household cost-of-living stress and car dependency is more important than ever right now. Public transport services in the most affected areas are inadequate. Government should be doing what they can to boost them. Even just running the buses more often can help a lot to provide options.

Hello! I'm a bus🚌 pretending to be a tram🚋 that used to be a train🚆 connecting to a ship🚢.

Unsafe tram stops that motorists drive through
Windows you can't properly see out of
Lack of platform stops for accessibility
So many upgrades needed for our tram system
