LNP Fares statement

[O_128]

Remember the 10 Trip Savers? Weren't they 10 trips for the price of 8? None of the new policies look like a good deal when compared to that.

It is interesting to note that there is no mention of further investment in public transport, all the debate between the parties and here, the members has been within the existing budget. What about expanding the PT budget? How about at least returning the fare subisdy back to the historical norm before the overall budget position deteriorated?

what about the billion needed every year until 2031?

But go card was priced at 1/10 of ten trips on the ten trippers when they were running in tandem.

Between Aug 08 and Jan 2010 right?

Ten trips cost the same as weeklies (restricted to same zones) and the same as 8,7.5,7 or 6.5 singles (depending on zones travelled).

I'd forgotten they'd had, then got rid of that discount, but it was something I complained heavily about at the time.
