NSW:Govt promises improved transport services

The NSW Coalition Government says public transport and road users can expect improved
services .. as it breaks apart the structure of the state's transport agencies under a
new body.

The government's announced it will set up a single integrated transport authority to
co-ordinate services .. and ensure transport projects are built on time and on budget.

The decision fulfils an election pledge by Premier BARRY O'FARRELL to untangle the
state's transport issues .. and will see policy and planning experts from all transport
agencies working as one.

Major policy and procurement decisions will be taken away from agencies such as RailCorp
.. Sydney Buses and the RTA .. leaving them to focus on service delivery.

Transport minister GLADYS BEREJIKLIAN has not ruled out job losses across the agencies.
