just add more trains lmao, more patronage is a great thing
The network upgrades required to “just add more trains” would be very expensive, and Vic Labor are already running up more debt than they can afford.
@cuavas @Jumuta to be honest I'm a little surprised they didn't make the fare cap for off-peak travel only, which would have actually helped to reduce some of the crazy peak crush.
eh, less expensive then roads in the long run
