80% of the cost of public transport is subsidy anyway. The charge to end users is ritualised economic theory wars. A Brisbane resident I welcomed this change. Bus patronage has gone up. Regrettably I doubt average road congestion will drop because .. different ritualised economic theory.
public transport must be the least efficient then...a 2km ticket will cost me $4(Sydney), you say 80% is subsidized, so the cost of public transport in this case is $10/km...what are they using, rocket fuel?
