"Students in the Northern Territory will be able to catch buses for free from next week (19/01/09). Acting Chief Minister Delia Lawrie said free bus travel on all scheduled services on the Territory’s school and public bus network would be available to all students attending primary school through to university from Tuesday, 27 January 2009. “Free public transport for students every day in the Territory is a fresh idea that will cut the cost of travelling on the public bus network,” Ms Lawrie said. “The Northern Territory Government is delivering on a key election commitment by providing free bus travel to students - becoming the first Australian state or territory to do so."
