The NSW Liberals & Nationals today announced a $40 million Park and Travel Safety Fund to improve commuter safety in and around train stations, NSW Opposition Leader Barry O’Farrell and Shadow Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian said today.

“As I move around the community, people constantly say safety concerns are one of the reasons why they don’t use public transport, especially at night,” Mr O’Farrell said.

Shadow Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian said today Kristina Keneally’s lousy excuse as to why private bus commuters will have to have their tickets stamped under Labor’s MyZone ticketing system has exposed yet another delay to the delivery of integrated ticketing for Sydney.

“David Campbell’s promise that contracts to deliver integrated ticketing would be signed by the end of this month have been rubbished by Kristina Keneally, who today admitted T-card will not be finalised until later this year,” Ms Berejiklian said.

Bus commuters will be faced with lengthy delays and longer travel times later this month when Labor’s new MyZone ticketing system, which has been plagued with problems, is introduced later this month Shadow Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian said.

“Bus drivers will be forced to mark or date stamp tickets because the State Labor Government has failed to install machines to validate the MyZone tickets on private buses,” Ms Berejiklian said.

Shadow Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian said today private contractors who are waiting to be paid by RailCorp would not be subject to same treatment under a NSW Liberals & Nationals Government.

“Some of these contractors owed money by RailCorp have been waiting for three months to be paid,” Ms Berejiklian said.

Premier Kristina Keneally and Transport Minister David Campbell must explain why their State Labor Government has increased travel times to Penrith, forcing commuters to spend more time away from their families, NSW Opposition Leader Barry O’Farrell and Shadow Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian said today.

Shadow Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian said today that it was a huge blow to Western Sydney that the Labor Party confirmed it has no plans to build the Parramatta to Epping rail link.

Campbell Confirms Fiasco

Transport Minister David Campbell refused to say today what action he has taken to fix the major problems with the State Labor Government’s MyZone ticketing system, Shadow Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian said today.

“The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) made it clear that the State Labor Government had failed to consult them and that the proposals were inconsistent with the IPART Act,” Ms Berejiklian said.

Bus commuters will be forced to continue to put up with the same overcrowded and unreliable bus services they have come accustomed to under Labor following the Auditor-General’s revelations today the State Government has no plan to improve bus services, Shadow Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian said today.

The NSW Liberals & Nationals plan for Infrastructure NSW would help address Labor’s Sydney congestion chaos by independently planning and prioritising infrastructure upgrades, NSW Opposition Leader Barry O’Farrell said today.

The Federal Government has released the State of Australian Cities 2010 Report that again highlights Sydney’s worsening traffic congestion and ageing infrastructure.

Drivers in the North West could pay at least $65,000 in tolls, while motorists in the South West face toll charges up to $18,000 before Labor finally delivers rail links promised in Labor’s transport election scam – and that's before they are hit by Kristina Keneally’s new $30 car rego tax, NSW Opposition Leader Barry O’Farrell and Shadow Minister for Roads Andrew Stoner revealed today.

“Under Labor’s latest transport election scam, the North West Rail Link doesn't start till 2017 and won't be finished until 2024, while the South West Rail Link isn't due for completion until 2016,” Mr O’Farrell said.
