Victoria has made public transport free – NSW hasn’t. Has there been any difference in uptake? (theconversation.com)

...The relatively small difference between Victoria, where public transport was free, and NSW – where fares remained unchanged – suggests price is not the main constraint on mode shift. Access, travel time, service reliability and the ability to make specific trips appear to matter more.

Thank you for your invaluable input on a service you don't use

Why the sarcasm? Just because I don't use a service does not mean I'm a not interested in discussing what is happening in society. I don't drive trucks but I've also put up a post about electric trucks and other similar posts. If we were all just interested in what affects us personally our society would be even more selfish and dysfunctional than capitalism encourages it to be. Mate, you seem to have a hate problem. Hate is bad for mental and physical health.

Just block these weirdos that create social media accounts to behave anti-socially. Nothing of value will be lost; you cannot communicate with them because they are not looking for communication in the first place.
