Last week I had an opportunity to speak with Ben Carroll (Minister for Public Transport) and continue our conversation about fares for users of the new Keilor East (Keilor Park) station.
I have been seeking clarification from Mr. Carroll as to whether the fare will be a PT Zone 2 fare or if users will be required to purchase a more expensive Airport Rail ticket.
Mr. Carroll has advised that he is following this up with Jacinta Allen (Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop), and that he hopes to have the station accessible on a Zone 1 (PT) ticket.
Whilst I understand a final fare price can not be confirmed until closer to the station opening, the community should at least know if passengers will access the new station on a Public Transport Ticket, or a dearer Airport Rail Ticket.
I appreciate Mr. Carroll continuing to follow this up and I ensure the community that I will continue to seek an answer and keep you updated with any new information I receive.
