Declining patronage noted by State Transit Authority

posted Saturday 30 November 2002

The State Transit Authority of NSW's Annual Report was released late on Friday 29th November.

It remarks on a reduction in patronage, saying it is common to all service operators. The reduction is attributed to a downturn in the economy, to a reduction in the cost of car ownership following introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and to an effective reduction in petrol excise.
