Sydney’s public transport network was once again thrown into chaos on Wednesday afternoon as widespread industrial action across the rail network and key bus routes slashed services and left commuters stranded on platforms.
Jenny O’Keefe told theHeraldthat she had endured nightmare travel times on her way into work on Wednesday morning,and was lining up to do the same again on her way home from Town Hall.
“I got on a train at 6.40am and didn’t get into the office in Darling Park until 8.40am,” said O’Keefe,who lives in Penrith.
“The trains were packed,absolutely packed ... the guards on the platform were pushing more people in,yelling,‘move upstairs,move downstairs’.”
“Today has been the worst one[strike]. This afternoon it’s all stations[affected] again ... it’s impacting us getting to work.”
