[sustran] Info on Free Public Transport or Transit

[roland at actrix.co.nz]

Hi

Recently a proposal has been floated in New Zealand's major city Auckland
for a zero fare policy coupled with a massive expansion of the bus
service.  I am aware of the range of factors besides fares which influence
use of bus services.

I would be interested in knowing of any examples or evaluations of free
public transport, as the only specific example I have been able to find is
in inner-city Perth in Western Austrailia.

Any suggestions or pointers much appreciated

Thanks in advance for any help
