Overcrowding fears from Vic trains pitch

Slashing public transport fares could lead to overcrowding, but Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy insists that's a "good problem".

In the lead up to the November 26 poll, the coalition has pledged to halve fares on V/Line trains and make replacement bus services free for at least four years if it regains government.

Under the plan, the opposition says a daily commuter would save $1762 a year travelling from Geelong to Melbourne, $2074 a year from Ballarat to Melbourne, and $2408 a year from Bendigo to Melbourne.
