“Over the past few weeks, the state government has made public transport on weekends free,” the 3AW Mornings host said.

“And guess what? When something is free, it becomes popular.”

Spokesperson with the Public Transport Users’ Association, Daniel Bowen, then weighed in on the success of free public transport on weekends in recent times.

“How much of that is a permanent bump, and how much is it just a sugar hit?” Bowen asked Tom Elliott.
