Every resident of Sydney to get FREE travel after trains went into meltdown: Here’s what we know so far
Dominic Perrottet has announced there will be a day of free public transport in New South Wales to make up for Sydney‘s train network going into meltdown on Wednesday afternoon.
Commuters trying to get home after work on Wednesday were left waiting for nearly two hours after the public transport’s network radio system failed.
The NSW Premier said on Thursday a ‘fare-free’ day would be in store to try and make up for the chaos.
‘I’ve made it very clear to the secretary of the (NSW Transport) department that my expectation is there is a fare-free day to make up someway for what occurred yesterday,’ he told reporters.
The Sydney Trains network came to a standstill on Wednesday as frustrated commuters scrambled to find alternative ways to get home. Pictured are commuters waiting for a tram at Town Hall
