On-demand buses are a new initiative for the NSW Government and allow passengers to book transport by bus from their home or a nearby collection point to a local transport hub or community centre.
In some parts of the world public transport is free to use and is fully funded by the community through taxation revenue. We investigate the potential outcomes if public transport fares were free in Sydney.
IPART makes recommendations on maximum taxi fares to Transport for NSW each year. Our recommendations are based on the annual changes in costs measured by Taxi Cost Indices (TCIs).
