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.

You know, when I was in Australia I mostly relied on public transport and I thought that not only was it more reliable than here in Germany (not a huge surprise), but a lot cheaper, too.
I think I paid under $50 to get from Sydney to Wagga via TrainLink, in a first class carriage. You pay well over $200 for similar fares over here.
