Mrs Toni Peters
Due to the risks of being exposed to COVID-19, many DRIVE A2B Editor
do not wish to travel by train, tram or bus. They would
rather get in a vehicle with less people - either their
own car, taxi or ride share.

Thirdly, there is the survey done by the University of
Sydney Business School. This survey determined that
nearly 50% of people living in major Australian cities
would leave their car at home if they could travel up to
five kilometres to a public transport hub by taxi, hire
car or ride-share vehicle, for a capped fare of $5.

Furthermore, Director of the Institute of Transport
and Logistics Studies, Professor David Hensher, said,
“It opens up a need for a dialogue with government
as to whether a subsidy scheme for the first and last
kilometre might more than compensate for the levels
of subsidy for the main public transport service, by
increasing patronage as well as reducing congestion
on our roads in the large cities.”
