Public transport in Perth has been free throughout the summer school holidays the past couple of years. I don’t know if the scheme affects passenger numbers, but we love it!
Fares cap at $5 the rest of the time. So even when not free, it’s pretty cheap to get about. It’s 124km from Yanchep to Mandurah, the train takes about two hours to make that trip. Pretty good for $5 - that’s further than Brisbane to Sunshine Coast.
How good! I hope they roll out this initiative to other states now and definitely keep it for QLD.
