CASEY residents will have one less thing to pay for this festive season, with free public transport being offered on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.
The State Government will provide free travel for all residents on the state’s public transport system on both those days. Public transport will run all night with free Zone 1+2 travel from 6pm New Year’s Eve until 5am on New Year’s Day.
South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich said the free travel allowed Casey residents to get to festivities safely and easily.
“Whether travelling to see family on Christmas Day or enjoying the New Year’s fireworks in Melbourne, Casey commuters will welcome the free travel opportunities,” she said.
“This period is a time of celebration, but unfortunately for some families, all too often it is spoilt by tragedies on the state’s roads.”
“That’s why the Baillieu Government and public transport operators have committed to providing free travel on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.”
Visit the Metlink website at metlinkmelbourne. com.au and use the journey planner to find the right services for your journey.
The Metlink call centre will be open to assist travellers all night on New Year’s Eve, so for public transport information call Metlink on 131 638.
