The Miles Labor government has hailed the first month of its 50¢ flat fare trial as a vote of confidence with just seven weeks to the statewide poll.

While the government says it has seen “strong patronage growth” on weekdays, weekends have been “very strong” at levels 30-40 per cent higher than the comparative pre-pandemic period – attributed to people deciding to “ditch the car” to explore the region.
