@10newsfirst: Train trips will be free across Sydney during peak evening periods when the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) turn Opal card readers off. The industrial action is set to begin on Thursday the 20th of October 2022 and is expected to cost the NSW government $1 million every day it continues. The move is the union's latest bid to convince the state government to return to the bargaining table as tensions grow over the safety of the New Intercity Fleet trains and the details of a new enterprise agreement. #Sydney #NSW #news #union #freetransport #OpalCard #Train #Strike #IndustrialAction #Free #PublicTransport #RailTramBusUnion #RTBU #10newsfirst
