Victorian Greens

The Victorian Greens have a Six-Point Public Transport Plan that will take you where you want to go, when you want to go.

The idea is that all Victorians will be able to fully participate in life without needing a car.

As part of the plan, the Greens will:

1. End the failed privatisation experiment
2. Establish a powerful, accountable Public Transport Authority (PTA)
3. Create a separate task force each for trams, trains, buses, and Myki, as well as future growth and PTA task forces
4. Make public transport safe
5. Extend rail and tram systems
6. Create 'Swiss-style’ public transport for regional Victoria

Victoria is in the middle of a public transport crisis. People are spending an average of 16% of their household budget on getting around. A recent Greens PT survey found that 90% of Melbourne's public transport users are dissatisfied with our public transport system. And The Brumby government has admitted that its number 1 priority is Westlink – another road.

The problem starts at the top. The government has lost control, they run an unaccountable system which is barely coping under the strain. Without a proper authority, we will continue to suffer the consequences of decisions like Myki.

We need a transport system which can actually respond to a growing population and provide an alternative to sitting in traffic jams on our freeways.
