Minchinbury Commuter Requires Discount For Standing Commuters!

Wow, wow, wow! Great people I meet have great stories, ideas and really sometimes  pour out their frustration to me. Sam from Minchinbury did this today, but with calm and dignity.


He catches the train at mount Druitt around 7.43am, the express to Sydney City, yet he gets off at Central Train Station. He ends up a majority of the time is left standing by the time the train reaches Mount Druitt  and pretty much knows all the standing up commuters that catch that train. he suggests that fares should be reduced for these commuters.


He compares it to eating a restaurant, you are not left standing eating your  food and you won't pay for a meal if you ate it standing up. Sam does recommend fares drop down for standing on trains as commuters, or supply more improved services.


In the afternoon he reaches Central Train Station around 4pm, missing the rain that leaves 2 minutes before. he then has to wait 20 minutes for next express train service. Both times he would like to see more services for more people to sit on trains or provide an extra  2 carraiges!
