2 🚃 Pay attention to the signage at the stops & announcements onboard when entering/leaving a #FreeTramZone
Tram numbers 12, 96 & 109 can drop you outside Kitchen Workshop at stop Whiteman Street/Clarendon Street, where it will be a short 5-minute walk to the MCEC.
Sally Capp now giving some convincing arguments on the importance of transport connectivity in the city centre, for business and tourism -- I'm not totally sold on why it needs to be fare free though. #FreeTramZone #SpringSt
Bev McArthur made the good point that there’s a lack of good official data on the effects of the #FreeTramZone. There’s some good stuff in the Yarra Trams submission, but much of it is from unpublished reports, and it would be good to see more information https://t.co/Vd3x9T84o4
The @ptua presentation points out the effects of the 2015 fare changes:
Zone 1+2 capping: more people catch PT from Z2 into the CBD✅
#FreeTramZone: more people *driving* from Z1 into the CBD❌
Just reading the MRCagney submission, which includes this gem: Removal of obstacles (eg service improvements) is much more likely to result in mode shift to public transport than free fares. #FreeTramZone https://t.co/ihUTlgAFSg

⚠️ Trams will be disrupted on Thursday due to industrial action between 10am and 2pm.
Also in this story: the #FreeTramZone mostly benefits motorists, and can mean fare-paying passengers are crowded out - it should be reviewed. https://t.co/LsivjDLsJJ
More tram strikes will create major disruptions tomorrow as the union's feud with Yarra Trams escalates. https://t.co/5zYfOfohG3 @EstelleGriepink #7NEWS
There seems to be some about the #FreeTramZone.
People who commute into the CBD (apart from some "Earlybird" users) already get all the tram rides they want included in their fare.
These people are being crowded out by those getting free rides. https://t.co/Dmj52ibBWl
I wonder how many people are going a few stops to the station and denying those destined for the suburbs a chance to board 🤔

This Age opinion piece sums up the arguments nicely. Everyone likes free stuff, but it all comes at a cost (economic and opportunity). #FreeTramZone https://t.co/iSCdcHbdGr
If you're up for a little reading, here's my blog from 2015, just after the #FreeTramZone started. There are pros and cons of course. But I still think there are more cons than pros. https://t.co/Dmj52itdkV
