Campaign for Discounted Public Transport w/ Mika Hervel: December 20th, 2023

This year has seen the introduction of public transport discounts, namely a 50% discount for Community Service Card holders, and a discount for young people aged 16 to 24. National campaigned for the removal of youth discounts if they were elected, and now that they are in Government, this is a real possibility. 

Many have advocated for these discounts to be retained. For this Get Action! Segment, Olivia spoke to Free Fares team organiser, Mika Hervel, about his team's petition to keep discounted fares, and the positive impacts of this on people and the environment.
