Economic Times Transport union in NSW calls on state government to scrap public transport fares as high fuel costs mount cost-of-living pressure; transport minister responds
Sydney's transport union urges the government to abolish public transport fares, citing rising petrol costs and cost-of-living pressures. The RTBU suggests free or heavily subsidized travel to encourage commuters out of cars. However, the Transport Minister maintains current fares are fair, despite a daily cap of $19.30 for adults.
