To cope with high oil prices, Victoria, Australia expands public transport discounts

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on April 19 that the government of Victoria, Australia has announced that all public transportation will be free to ride in May, and ticket prices will be halved for the rest of the year. The cost of this initiative is approximately AUD 432 million (USD 310 million). The move aims to provide greater support to consumers affected by high oil prices, as the Middle East war has caused fuel prices to surge. Additionally, one of Australia's only two remaining refineries suffered a fire recently, further intensifying concerns over fuel supply.```
