In my post on 6 Jan, I quoted from a letter by John Goldberg, including how Transurban is relying on increased induced traffic on the widened M2 to raise cash flow. Of course for that same reason Transurban has a powerful incentive to get people out of the buses and onto the road.
I confess that I don't know what toll a bus pays to use the M2 from the north west to Epping, but I am sure displacing those commuting passengers into cars and making them drive all the way into the city will significantly increase Transurban's cash flow.
This is where the NSW government and the RTA should be applying brakes and checks on the project to apply an integrated transport solution to north west Sydney's desperate traffic problems.
