$1 early bird fare trial

[Buzz Killington]

ACTION will be trialling $1 'early bird' fares from 5 to 30 May, for MyWay users who tag on before 7.30am.

The plan is to lessen the load on the morning peak hour, and get people who don't normally use the bus to give it a go. They're also promoting the parliamentary zone aspect to try to get people out of their cars before pay parking rolls out there in July.

I think it's a nice idea - will be quite interesting to see how it goes.
