I started writing this well before this morning's Queensland announcement...

Queensland to slash public transport fares to 50 cents for six months from August. A brave experiment, Premier.

Prediction: It's never as simple as they claim. We'll probably see heavy use/crowding on the services with useful, usable timetables. Little difference on the services and in the suburbs and towns where PT is slow and infrequent - in those areas almost everyone will keep driving.

I'm not immediately seeing the Vic News angle on this one.

The Hamptons is different from Hampton, Vic 3188, and Hampton Park, Vic 3976.

So it turns out at Patterson station the screens at street level hide trains departing in less than 5 minutes.
There’s no sensible reason for this. It takes about 30 seconds to walk up the ramp to the platform.
