Reduced Fares For Mount Druitt Young Commuter!

A very young and excited Michael from Mount Druitt, is really depending on public transport trains to get to work all around Sydney, to reach his job as a laborer.

Today he was travelling all the way to Dee Why and was returning on the train back home. He catches the 4.12am train to the city and then returns at 4.300pm from Town Hall to Mount Druitt. At Town Hall he catches 2 buses to Dee Why and return.

What he would like to see improved is a reduction of public transport fares to accommodate him to at least $10 per day (as his work is  not  permanent 5 days per week, only travels 2-3 times per week at a  $15.00 cost per day to reach to and from work, although he uses a student concession fare).

Maybe he is right and maybe more younger commuters would be depending on  more public transport especially if there is such an increase in patronage.
