Metro Tunnel - VibeWire Magazine

Public transport in Victoria to be free on weekends for two months

The state government will offer free-of-charge rides on trams, buses and trains in all of Victoria from early December until February.

State Opposition Leader Brad Battin joined 3AW Drive and reacted to the state government’s Metro Tunnel announcement.

The government said it would deliver an extra 1,000 weekly train services.

This is a great addition to the Melbourne rail network but more trains are needed.

Train drivers were stranded in Melbourne’s new Metro Tunnel for almost five hours when a systems fault brought trains to a standstill.

Surprising is the small customer service window that will become quite the issue.

You can see now why the project was so expensive relative to the original budget.

Metro Metro Tunnel 2 is now decades away when it is desperately needed now.

It’s a project meant to service millions, but a dangerous ‘safety and access risk’ has this week emerged during tests.

Trains running on the Sunbury, Cranbourne and Pakenham lines will run through the Metro Tunnel.
