Interesting data from Melbourne’s free train travel experiment April 2026 vs March 2026 on Melbourne Metro trains:
👔 Weekdays: up 4.4%
🕶️ Weekends: up 38%
Some of this will be due to school holidays. Some may be due to business passengers being less price sensitive than leisure passengers.
Bigger leaps year on year, but without larger network year on year trends, harder to put that in context.
