The Victorian premier, Jacinta Allan, is doing a breakfast television blitz this morning to announce that the public will be able to travel for free every weekend from early December until 1 February, as part of the launch of the metro tunnel.
Allan has described it as a “thank you” to commuters for enduring disruptions as the project was built. Speaking on Today, she said:
To say thank you to Victorians for their [patience, we are] delivering free public transport for everyone every weekend, everywhere in our state. From the opening of the metro tunnel in early December through to the 1st of February, when we integrate this amazing piece of infrastructure into the [public transport network].
This is how you do it to get a smooth, safe start, to get passengers using this infrastructure at the earliest opportunity.
