Night Network trial extended

Today the state government announced it would extend its Night Network trial that started on 1 January 2016. Night Network, then branded as Home Safe, was an election promise in the 2014 state election. Night Network eventually became a permanent part of the public transport network, replacing the bus-only Night Rider service.
