Fares should be scrapped on public transport in Canberra for six weeks and the regular timetable reinstated, the Canberra Liberals have said, in a move to help residents with the cost of living and help the environment by reducing transport emissions.
The opposition's spokesman on transport, Mark Parton, will on Wednesday move a motion in the Legislative Assembly calling on the ACT government to make bus and light-rail travel free for six weeks and return to the pre-pandemic timetable.
