Train fares rise

 

Train fares from Woy Woy will rise by an average of two per cent from July 1, after a submission made by the State Rail Authority to the independent regulatory pricing tribunal was accepted.

A single fare from Woy Woy to the city will rise from $7.80 to $8, and return fare from $15 60 to $16.

Weekly tickets will rise from $45 to $46.

A statement released by the tribunal noted that the authority had delivered service improvements over the last year and that performance was generally good.

"The tribunal notes CityRail's improvements in on-time running over the past year, with the most recent information indicating it is achieving its targets," tribunal chairman Dr Thomas Parry said.
