Hello!

I think it would be good to have an updated list, since this is 3 years old. My city is not on the list so i think this is no use giving the prices around here.

Best regards.

Melbourne is also now ridiculous for a one-off trip, as you have to purchase a $6 ticket and then pay the $3.50 to $5.90 for a two hour zoned ticket.

Again, thanks for the effort in putting this information together, it’s definitely helpful for at a glance information. However,the city in which I reside is Dublin, Ireland and the prices quoted(understandably not updated) do not reflect the cost of public travel here. Currently, the cost is $2.16 for the cheapest fare on a bus or a tram. Either of these fares would get you a couple of kilometers at most. The price rises incrementally by stage(kms).

Peter,

Thank you for the kind words, and I know what you mean. The data was gathered from official websites wherever they exist, in a period of about a month, but that was two years ago. I never really intended on it being used for political debates and such, though I was quite confident in the information at the time. -Roger

This is a very useful study but it needs better methodology documentation to be cited.

Gerry,

Give it a rest. Typical American “Why didn’t you include me… I deserve to be on this list.”

There were 8 cities from the US on the list, far more than any other country on the list. So relax.

Serdar, the research is now almost two years old, so I’m sure most of these prices have gone up at least a bit (or a lot for Buenos Aires). I’ll try to update it all early in 2013 after our next full revision to all the prices on the site. Thanks for asking and the interest. -Roger

I live in sydney and if you were crazy enough to do it you could catch the city’s monorail approximately 100 meters between galleries Victoria and city central and pay over US$5
