NSW: Cashless buses on 15 major Sydney corridors by year's end

NSW Transport Minister JOHN WATKINS says cashless buses will be running on up to 15
major commuter corridors in Sydney .. by the end of this year.

Mr WATKINS says the cashless system has been successful on the Bondi to City route.

From today it's been expanded to the L38 service .. running between Abbotsford and
Circular Quay via Five Dock.

Cashless buses also began operating on the service between Denistone East and the QVB
.. via the Lane Cove Tunnel .. a fortnight ago.

Mr WATKINS says prepay buses are being embraced by the travelling public because they
save time and money.





The minister says Sydney Buses will report to him in a month on other routes earmarked
for the expansion of the cashless service.

He says cashless routes will be complemented by other buses running along similar routes
.. where passengers can still pay the driver.
