Less than 2% of the 15,000 workers in this industrial precinct, south of Melbourne Airport, took PT to work on the 2016 and 2021 census days. There are eight buses each way, each weekday: four each in the AM and PM peaks, each an hour apart.
Can you really blame people for driving in this context?

For most people, Melbourne's PT just isn't useful enough to ditch their car and buy the annual pass that will give them zero marginal cost trips.
That's less than the average cost of car ownership (and they probably own two).
Again, they won't, because the service sucks. Making it cheap won't fix this.
