Holidaymakers have been told to brace for significant traffic delays from Boxing Day as maintenance works on the West Gate Bridge slow travel across the Yarra.
It depends where you go and how long it takes. 2 hours of travel will be $5.30 and a daily will be $10.60. I agree that $5.30 if you’re catching a bus 10 mins away is too much, but for longer trips that $10.60 is actually reasonable, as that’s unlimited travel in the entire state
the flat fare is very commuter centric. Pretty much only commuters will travel that long of a distance frequently. It disincentives non commuter use of PT like shopping and leisure, which makes no sense at all.

It is still cheaper than a Taxi or fake taxi.
