Compared to how much we subsidise roads, this is a drop in the bucket

That money would be better spent improving service frequency and reliability to the point where one who has the option of driving would consider catching public transport. Also, electrifying outer-suburban rail services currently run by overloaded V/Line trains would achieve this and cut the fuel bill, freeing up money for future improvements. Though if we don’t expect cheap oil to return, we should be thinking of electrifying frequent country services as well.

but will save everyone more than that!

$432 mil is about 80 dollarbucks per head.

Considering that schoolkids already ride free, that's a rather high estimate.
