'A squeeze': Bus trips doubled in one Sydney region | pallavisinghal_
The number of trips commuters took on buses in Sydney's inner west more than doubled last year, prompting experts to warn of the risk of more delays to services due to the pressure on public transport.
The number of trips taken on inner west bus routes jumped 104.6 per cent between 2018 and 2019, with 60 million trips logged, Transport for NSW figures show.Premier Gladys Berejiklian said it was "joyful" to see public transport patronage increase, adding there were a number of new projects to cater to growing demand.
University of Sydney senior transport lecturer Geoffrey Clifton said public transport users could continue to expect "a bit of a squeeze" until the metro lines were built.
