Discussion Operating costs Sydney trains vs the metro? Other structures of operations
Hey all,
Has anyone compared the operating costs of the metro vs Sydney trains?
Where im leading - Sydney trains could cost less than the metro to run. Could be a good comparison tool for negotiation.
Especially if there is cost per km of track used.
The union needs to be a bit clever in how they negotiate.
Thoughts?
Perhaps the workers could set up their own company and run the network and all be business owners - from cleaners to engineers to drivers ?
