Lines attributable to ACT Greens spokesperson on Transport, Andrew Braddock MLA:
“Cost of living relief should give people a genuine sense of relief. It’s in the name. I would be surprised if Canberrans are breathing out after Chief Minister’s announcement tonight.
“I welcome any reduction in public transport fares, but the ACT Government's announced changes are underwhelming, confusing, and temporary. They do little to incentivise new or infrequent public transport users.
“This is the time to take serious action to match the challenge of the fuel crisis. Free public transport from two states has proven too hard an act to follow for ACT Labor.
“To benefit at all from these temporary transport charging arrangements, people will need a flawless experience with MyWay+ on 20 separate trips each month. Good luck, Canberra. May the odds be ever in your favour.”
