(a)-(c) Our Government is always considering ways to improve our public transport system.
That’s why we’re investing in METRONET, the biggest expansion to our public transport system in our state’s history.
That’s also why we’ve capped fares at the cost of a two-zone fare, saving commuters up to $2,900 per year.
