O'FARRELL'S COST CUTTING COMPROMISING COMMUTER SAFETY

LATE NIGHT PASSENGERS LEFT WITHOUT SECURITY PATROLS 

The O'Farrell Government's cost cutting agenda is compromising commuter safety – with transit officers removed from overnight train and station patrols, years before the police who are supposed to be replacing them are fully rolled out.

"The O'Farrell Government's cost cutting is forcing passengers to travel on late night trains without security patrols," Shadow Transport Minister, Penny Sharpe said today.

"The O'Farrell Government promised to improve public transport, but instead we are seeing transit officers no longer patrolling trains and stations on weeknights.

O'FARRELL SHIRKS PUBLIC TRANSPORT DECISIONS FOR ANOTHER 12 MONTHS

The self-proclaimed 'Infrastructure Premier' Barry O'Farrell has put off making any decisions about public transport for a full 12 months today – delaying the start of any major infrastructure for at least another year.

The Premier sent Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian out to deliver the bad news today that the Government's so called ' Transport Master Plan' won't be ready until the end of 2012.
"Earlier this year, we were told that five year and 20 year infrastructure plans would be completed by the end of 2011," said Shadow Minister for Transport, Penny Sharpe.
