AJ SadauskasCensorship king and NSW Premier Chris Minns yet again demonstrating his antipathy towards public transport and working people.
"The Minns government has ruled out free public transport for Sydney, despite the Victorian and Tasmanian governments announcing fully subsidised fares, as petrol prices soar.
...
"Premier Chris Minns has called for a nationally unified approach to the fuel crisis, but NSW demurred as Tasmania and Victoria announced free public transport to encourage people to switch from driving and to ease the surge in fuel demand.
...
"Sydney’s public transport use has increased since the war began more than four weeks ago. Commuter numbers on rail and metro are up 4.5 per cent and 3.7 per cent on buses compared to three weeks earlier.
...
"A total of 66 petrol stations have run out of all fuel types, about one in 37 of the state’s stations, according to Fair Trading NSW. About one in seven (371 petrol stations) have run out of at least one fuel type, and almost one in 10 (229) have run out of diesel.
"The NSW Rail, Tram and Bus Union urged the NSW government to urgently follow Victoria and Tasmania’s decision to make public transport free, or at least drop fare prices, and increase the number of services."
