“If we can make the most of people coming out and enjoying the beautiful climate in our beautiful city, we will be able to achieve that working together - the city and government.”Source:AAP But that figure had climbed to up to 60 per cent at some main transport hubs such as Central Station, he confirmed weeks later.
“We want people to come back and we want them to come back in a safe way. Public transport is crucial to that,” he said.
