Re: [Melb] Bayside Trains Promotion

[Vaughan Williams <ender2000@my-deja.com>]

Its been heading that way for a long time, unfortunately.

The multimodel system will continue to be eroded and with it people's
willingness to use more than one type of public transport, unless they
are lucky enough for both services to be run by the same operator.

I hope the promise of retaining the multimodel tickets is kept, and
that they are not undercut too much by the single-mode tickets.
Otherwise, the car will continue to win out and PT will continue to be
the mode of last resort.
