| Message | While we support this in principle, it may be difficult to implement. Why not subsidise all public transport? |

| Message | We do not feel that this will be difficult to implement, people with household incomes under a certain threshold will simply be able to apply for a free bus pass. |

| Message | We would however be willing to alter the bill to subsidise all public transport if it continues to lack support, though I suspect that would make it more unpopular with most parties. |
