We've all seen the scenes at Fed Square yesterday, where so much of Melbourne is getting around the Socceroos.
The Socceroos' next game is against the USA, at 5am this Saturday. While the Night Network will be running, many people who are willing to attend, can't use it.

When's the last bus on your local route?
On many routes the last service is too early to be useful to most people. Those that do run later are often infrequent, meaning a long wait from connecting trains.
More services more often makes public transport easier to use, which gets more people on board.

The reason for this is simple: fares are far too expensive.
Students may have to choose whether to eat, or to regularly pay their fares, especially with fares as high as $5.50 for a one-way trip.
