Green dots scrapped as restrictions eased
From Monday 19 April, capacity on buses, trains, light rail and ferries will return to 75 per cent on city services while regional transport will be allowed full capacity.
The green dot system – where either side of an occupied seat was left empty – has been rolled back to allow more passengers to board. However, they will be kept on hand for future re-implementation if needed.
“Health advice now allows public transport services to increase capacity, which means people can now sit next to each other on their trip,” Acting Transport and Roads Minister Paul Toole said.
