“It is not sufficient to say no extra privatisation, we have to be actively working to reverse this privatization and making a transparent dedication to not renew a single contract,” Ms Boyd stated.
An inquiry final yr by the NSW higher home transport committee, chaired by Ms Boyd, discovered privatizing bus routes had been a catastrophe and advisable they be returned to public palms.
“The neighborhood anger and frustration on the degradation of companies is palpable. It’s clear to us that the NSW Authorities’s choice to denationalise these bus companies has been nothing in need of a catastrophe,” Ms Boyd wrote in her foreword of the committee’s report launched in September.
