Free rail travel on Friday to compensate for today's rail meltdown, says the Age. What a shameless con!
A day's 'free' travel does nothing to compensate the people who most subsidise this shambles of a train network, by buying weekly, monthly or yearly tickets! One 'free' day doesn't get accounted for in long-term tickets, so only a fraction of those affected by today's trouble, and most likely, people who don't use the trains regularly and may not need to use them on Friday, will actually benefit from this 'magnanimous' gesture.
Another show of insincerity from Brumby and Pakula to the public transport users of Melbourne. Roll on November...
