Action for Public Transport (N.S.W.) was formed in 1974 as the Save Public Transport Committee in response to a threat by the then New South Wales government to downgrade Sydney's public transport system.
We are not tied to any business organisation, trade union, political party or government department. However, we frequently liaise with governments, transport operators and other commuter and environmental groups, both in Australia and overseas.
This website may not be as pretty as some, but it is quick loading, fairly accessible to hand-held devices and text-only browsers, and low maintenance. APTNSW prefers to devote its time to advocacy!
