The franchising of government-run bus services in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart and Newcastle could generate $1 billion over five years in savings that could be used to further improve public transport services according to a new report released by the Tourism & Transport Forum Australia (TTF).
The report, ‘On the Buses: The Benefits of Private Sector Involvement in the Delivery of Bus Services’, has been prepared by TTF and leading Australian and international consulting firm L.E.K. to assess the financial and service benefits to government and commuters of competitive contracting of bus routes to experienced private operators.
