Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that in the last six years public transport fares have more than doubled making it unaffordable for many people and increasing traffic congestion. Recent Translink surveys show that less than half of public transport users now think it is affordable.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to ensure that the Translink Fare Review Taskforce cut fares to encourage more people onto public transport and reduce traffic congestion.
