Submission to the IPART Review of the external benefits of public transport
NCOSS believes that the benefits of public transport have historically been undervalued, largely due to gaps in the availability of information that enables accurate accounting of these benefits. In recent years, however, growing attention has been paid to both the benefits attributed to public transport and to the costs associated with car travel. We trust that IPART will make every effort to adopt a best practice and comprehensive approach to calculating external benefits based on the most up-to-date research available.
