The Greens have slammed a move by Adelaide Metro to increase fares for bus, train and tram services from tomorrow, and renewed calls for the State Government to make public transport free.

“It beggars belief that we are seeing public transport fares increase in the middle of a fuel crisis,” said Greens Transport Spokesperson, Robert Simms MLC.
“At a time when petrol prices are soaring and cost of living is going through the roof, the government should be making public transport free to provide relief. Instead we’re seeing a fare hike.”
“The Malinauskas Government needs to step up here. This is a slap in the face to commuters.”
