Australia’s states are split over free public transport as the war in the Middle East drives fuel costs higher, with Victoria and Tasmania waiving fares while NSW, Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia have ruled out following suit.

They need to be able to ramp-up services to cope with any increased demand.
Providing free transport is pointless if there aren’t enough trains.
Tasmanian . there are no trains, we closed them all decades ago, we’ve dug a deep fucing hole with a big stupidity shovel of diesel reliance that beggars belief,
we’re spending billions on a football stadium and have no trains, shitty education and shitty healthcare… fuck endless conservative voters but it is what it is.
Always the same bunch of idiots ruining for the rest of us.
