In what is a positive move announced a few months ago, people heading to Moore Park can use their MyZone tickets. Unfortunately, the overpriced tickets for the shuttles are still to be sold.
Ideally they would just make these shuttles free, which is what would happen in Qld or WA. In the Qld case they would send the bill for the services to the promoter. Making the shuttles free for everyone would be an equitable outcome and nearly everyone is paying a fare to reach Central anyway. It is dubious why people who happen to hold a MyMulti ticket should receive free travel on these services - it is very unlikely these services would cause a tipping point to make it worthwhile to purchase a MyMulti. Fare integration would make such trips of negligible cost anyway.
Making them free would save hassle with selling the tickets as well as hassle for the intending commuters.
In short, while it is a positive move that an anomaly is being reduced, this change isn't going far enough.
