What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Labor committed $400 million to rewrite bus routes in west Melbourne. The proposal suggests that if re-elected on November 28, about two thirds of existing routes would be upgraded to 'turn-up-and-go' services, with a bus running every 10 minutes seven days a week. Labor also plans to create new routes across the west that connect to train stations.
