NCOSS Submission to IPART Review of Public Transport Fares: Fare Structure
NCOSS strongly urges IPART to take into account the needs of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable members of the community throughout this review process. While NCOSS understands the Government’s need to maintain appropriate fare revenue from the transport system, it is paramount that the needs of people experiencing poverty and disadvantage be taken into account when structuring public transport fares so as not to exacerbate their disadvantage.
