We’re in a cost of living crisis, and the cost of getting from A to B is putting more and more pressure on already struggling households.
The average household is spending almost $450 per week on transport, including more than $100 on fuel alone.
Meanwhile, Australian cities have some of the most expensive public transport in the world and our roads are choked with traffic – causing increased commute times and more carbon pollution.
Queensland’s recent shift to 50 cent fares has been a huge success. It has reduced traffic, massively increased ridership on public transport, and saved Queenslanders millions.
Now it’s time to roll it out across the country.
50 cent fares are proven to work, popular and ready to go.
The Federal Government has the money and ability to do this right now. If it’s good enough for both major parties in Queensland, surely it is good enough for Federal Labor.
Making public transport fares just 50 cents would save the average household thousands each year.
Join our campaign to make 50 cent fares a reality nationwide.
