Glimpses of Queensland
Why the Change?
The Queensland Government is cutting transport fares to make travel more affordable for everyone. Steven Miles, Premier of Queensland, highlighted the benefits:
- Savings for everyone
- Fewer cars off the road
- Less congestion
- Easier to get around
Is it Permanent?
The trial will run for six months. Miles notes, “If this is effective, if it reduces congestion and gets a lot of people back on public transport, then of course we’ll look at making it permanent.”
