Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp has racked up more than $30,000 in chauffeur-driven limousine trips in a year, as well as taking a ratepayer-funded ride in a luxury BMW to this year’s AFL Grand Final.
Cr Capp scrapped Town Hall’s mayoral limousine when elected in 2018, saying she would cycle, walk or use public transport as much as possible while on official business.

But documents obtained under Freedom of Information laws reveal Cr Capp regularly catches a private limo, often booked for hours at a time, and almost daily.

The revelations come at a time when the council has encouraged cycling and walking around the city, converting CBD road space into bike lanes, prompting calls for Cr Capp, who has been accused of having a sense of entitlement, to repay the money.
 
In 2018, Cr Capp said she was selling off the mayoral limousine used by her predecessor Robert Doyle because she wanted to travel “in a way that more accurately reflects the experience of all Melburnians”.

“That’s why I’ll be walking, cycling, using public transport and driving my own car to and from work and official events,” she told the Herald Sun.

“I’ll still on occasion use a car service, on an as-needs basis, when that is the most appropriate and efficient transport option.”
 

Melbourne’s limo-loving Lord Mayor Sally Capp takes ratepayers for $31,000 ride​

Sally Capp promised to walk, cycle or take public transport when elected in 2018. But ratepayers have forked out a huge sum for her private chauffeur-driven service.
Promised to cap this kind of spending. She sure Capp'd it all right.
