Canberra's new bus and light rail system increased passenger numbers — or did it?

Just days after the launch of Canberra's new public transport network, a stoush has emerged over passenger numbers, with the opposition accusing the ACT Government of "fabricating" ridership figures and ignoring issues created by the new system. Key points: New network launched on Monday to mixed reviews from commuters Opposition claims ridership data was "fabricated" and misleading Government says passenger numbers and boardings are up But the Government said claims the new system had resulted in record ridership stacked up, no matter which figures were used. The ACT Government today proudly announced "record patronage", claiming that passengers on the public transport network topped 90,000 for the first time ever on Tuesday. Passenger numbers up too: Government Judith Sturman from Transport Canberra said the new system was creating demand.
