There’s heavy traffic and travel demand 7 days a week in Melbourne and our regional cities. It’s time public transport services caught up. More frequent services means more people on public transport.

More public transport systems are adding monthly or weekly fare caps, so regular users can avoid the hassle and upfront expense of preloading a Pass. Victoria should do this too, especially now we’ve got Tap And Go.

With so many suburban and regional town buses offering inadequate services on the weekends, we’re calling for Sunday timetables to be scrapped, upgraded to Saturday – to ensure more 7 day routes – and for key routes to have improved frequencies. https://www.busnews.com.au/ptua-frequent-bus-services-election-2026/
