Premier Ben Carroll says two-year limit will be in place on 1 January if re-elected, while Greens say there should be no fares Public transport fares in Victoria will be capped at $30 a week if the Labor government is re-elected next month.
卡罗尔总理周一表示，票价上限将于1月1日生效，即半价票价结束的第二天。半价票价是在应对美伊战争引发的燃料危机期间实施免费公共交通之后推出的。“这是真正的生活成本减负，能帮助普通通勤者每年节省1400澳元，”卡罗尔说。“每个人都能受益，但全职工人将受益最大。”}
The premier, Ben Carroll, on Monday said the fare cap would begin on 1 January, the day after half-price fares end. The discounted fares were introduced after a period of free public transport in response to the fuel crisis sparked by the US-Iran war. “This is real cost-of-living relief that helps a regular commuter save $1,400 a year,” Carroll said. “Everyone can benefit, but full-time workers will benefit most.”
