With a new government and the Greens in balance of power, we’ll make real change for Tasmanians struggling with the cost of living by investing $165 million into making public transport free, frequent and reliable.
Properly resourced public transport is good for people and the economy. It’s a service that connects communities, and should be accessible for all Tasmanians.
The Liberals aren’t serious about providing Tasmanians with good public transport. When you try to catch a bus, you don’t know if it’ll show up on time – or at all.
Public transport simply isn’t useful for many people, with services operating far too infrequently. It’s no wonder we have worsening traffic problems.
The Liberals have even threatened to privatise Metro to fund building a new billion-dollar stadium. Such a decision would mean even higher costs and far worse bus services for Tasmanians.
The Greens’ plan will provide real support for Tasmanians in the cost of living crisis and have a positive flow on effect to the community as a whole.
