Fares
Going For Gold on the Trains
The NSW Government is seeking a significant increase in fares for trains on the CityRail network.
What's wrong with distance-based pricing?
It doesn't sound all that bad, but mobility is one of the key factors in mental health, physical health, as well as social and economic wealth.
T-card is dead?
It would seem that the t-card is dead, but the impetus towards a distance based, per kilometre, fare hijack appears to be alive and well.
Fix the fares and you'll fix the ticket
The argument is that the T-card is new paint on a uniquely complex and out-dated fares system. Every other major city works on a much simpler system of zones and time-based tickets.
