People have been calling for public transport to be made free for decades - and this Australian city went ahead and did it (at least for a month)!
But should they make it permanent? And should other cities do the same?

What affect does free public transport have on how many people use it? Well the city of Perth in Western Australia gave it a try, to some pretty promising results. But can free public transport get people to ditch theirs cars in favour of trains, metros, buses, trams etc...? In this video, I look at how free mass transit in Perth worked out, as well as how it (and reduced fare prices) worked out in other parts of the world including Tasmania and Victoria.
