Great news. Definitely shows renewed support for the project from the government. Am interested in MichaelIrish's view - michael if you are still o/s the article mentions simplification of the fare system...Will it mean a signficant delay to the project or bring it closer to launch? Will it impact ERG revenue? The article states: "Transport experts have repeatedly warned that NSW's 70 individual fare products is unnecessarily large and will require dramatic simplification in order for an integrated ticketing system to be successful across all modes of transport. The NSW Government conceded yesterday that it would need to substantially simplify fare structures to make the Tcard project a reality. The most likely option was a system of distance-based sones similar to that of most other metro transport authorities. It is understood that the NSW public Transport ticketing Corp, which is in charge of the Tcard project, will oversee the simplification of the ticketing products".
