As part of a six-month trial, public transport fares in Queensland will soon be slashed to just 50 cents per trip for everyone.

Key Points: 
  • As part of a six-month trial, public transport fares in Queensland will soon be slashed to just 50 cents per trip for everyone.
  • Very-low flat fares have become fashionable policy as governments respond to cost of living pressures around the world.
  • “Captive” users of public transport – who have limited access to private vehicles and few alternatives – would surely welcome such schemes.

The benefits aren’t spread evenly

  • But as a group, commuters in the inner and middle suburbs of Brisbane and tertiary students will enjoy most of the benefits.
  • Passengers travelling from Yeppoon to Rockhampton, or from Proserpine airport to Airlie Beach, will get inter-city travel at an amazing price.

Will people ditch their cars and get back on public transport?

  • Affordable fares are only one of the motivators that can encourage a shift to public transport.
  • Our previous work has examined how spatial layout and the availability of public transport affect its patronage in different cities.
  • But with limited public transport coverage across much of Queensland, heavily discounted fares may not lead to a dramatic uptake in use.

What will the social and economic impact be?

  • This leads to a bigger debate on how we should price public transport and who should pay for it.
  • Even when public transport is made very cheap or even free, someone ultimately has to pay for it.
  • Everyone in Queensland will now pay 50 cents, no matter how far they go, which creates strong horizontal equity between travellers.

Are there other ways to subsidise public transport?

  • One alternative is to directly target programs to those in need, such as by ring fencing benefits to a smaller area.
  • This was recently tested in Los Angeles under a program called Universal Basic Mobility.
  • Free or heavily discounted public transport can be a good idea – where it can help meet social goals.
