Public transport:
Cheaper, more efficient, better for the environment

* Sydney is choking from traffic fumes and many of our roads are close to 
gridlock during rush hours. The solution is not more roads and more 
cars, it is more public transport.

* Public transport must be developed and expanded and fares charged at a 
level to ensure greater public use.

* Cars must be discouraged from entering our city centres so as to reduce 
pollution of the urban environment and associated health problems, and to 
limit the consumption of non-renewable fuels.

* To cut down the number of cars choking our roads, more frequent ferry, 
bus and rail services are needed, plus commuter shuttle buses must be 
provided.

* Public transport services must be reliable, safe, affordable and co-
ordinated.

Railways

* Rail links between Sydney and country areas should be restored.

* A nationally integrated public transport system should be developed 
including rail (using fuel efficient diesel locomotives), road and 
shipping.

* Long haul transport tasks should be transferred to rail from road.

* Stop the corporatisation and piecemeal privatisation of the rail network. 
Re-integrate City Rail, Countrylink, the railtrack, repair and maintenance 
of services.

* Increase the frequency of suburban, inter-urban and country rail services 
to encourage greater public use.

Sydney Airport

* Fast track a new airport for Sydney away from residential and 
environmentally sensitive areas. Williamstown, for example, would bring 
jobs to Newcastle with a Very Fast Train to Sydney.

* Reduce the number and size of aircraft using Kingsford Smith Airport; 
impose a capacity limit on the airport; re-impose the 10pm to 7am curfew 
with no exceptions.

* Divert some Jumbos to Brisbane and Melbourne.

* No airport at Badgery's Creek.

* No heliport.
