O'FARRELL INCREASES PUBLIC TRANSPORT FARES BY 5.4 PER CENT
$156 EXTRA FOR PENRITH COMMUTERS EACH YEAR

The O'Farrell Government's decision to increase public transport fares by a massive 5.4 per cent from next month is a slap in the face for commuters, Shadow Transport Minister, Penny Sharpe said today.

"The O'Farrell Government is sending public transport fares skyrocketing for hundreds of thousands of commuters in NSW," Ms Sharpe said.

"The O'Farrell Government's fare increase will cost the average Penrith commuter travelling to the City each week an extra $156 per year.
