The Cook Labor Government announced its latest cost-of-living relief with free public transport to be provided for school student travel. 

The Ride to School Free Program will be especially for travel to and from school Monday to Friday and will be available to those who hold a valid Student SmartRider card. 

Families who have two children travelling to and from school daily on public transport could see savings of up to $560 across the school year as a result of the change.

The Ride to School Free Program will benefit every student that rides the bus or train to school - with around $300,000 students currently holding Student SmartRiders.
