The Public Transport Users Association has released a report card that grades Parties’ public transport promises ahead of Saturday’s election.
Democrats A-
Family First F
The Greens A
ALP D
Liberals C+
Nationals C
People Power C
However, if these A-E gradings are based on current Victorian school report criteria (also known as The Nelson Method) then the Libs and the Nats are doing just fine, the Dems and the Greens are ahead of the pack, and the ALP needs to try harder. There’s no ‘F’ grade possible in Victoria but joke Parties deserve joke grades.
If, as is more likely, the grades are based upon the traditional A-E system and you care about public transport then you know what to do on Saturday.

While this is all well and good, unfortunately quite a few of the people I have spoken to have been sucked in by the “free public transport” rhetoric offered by the Liberals. Quite sad, really.
