NSW has had enough of its Government buying public transport vehicles ‘off-the-shelf’ from overseas, which aren’t fit for purpose!

The costs of converting these foreign-built vehicles debunks the economic rationale of buying them 'cheaply’ in the first place. NSW now has THREE types of foreign-sourced passenger rail vehicles and all have had problems upon arrival or soon after.

Ecotransit wants to uncomplicate this mess and is encouraging the government to switch away from both foreign-sourced automated metro carriages and standard light rail vehicles. We want an all-in-one, locally-built, single-deck ‘tram-train’ vehicle to replace both of these to ensure equal functionality and greater compatibility with our existing rail networks.

Locally made tram-trains would not only work in our existing metro tunnels and our current light rail tracks – they’d also provide long-term sustainable jobs and quality single-deck rail vehicles for passengers which are fit-for-purpose - first time, every time.

Help support the campaign by sending a letter to the Minister for Transport on the next page.
