However, heavy vehicle numbers have been more resilient through the first few weeks of the crisis - down 3 per cent in NSW and 11 per cent in Victoria - buoyed somewhat by the amount of supermarket deliveries being made.
“We think it’s more important to dedicate resources to helping those people who are in the most need ... rather than just [reduce] tolls by 5 per cent,” he said.Steven Siewert Transurban’s $3 billion NorthConnex and M5 road projects in Sydney were still on track to open in mid-2020, with construction considered an “essential activity”.“Once the restrictions were lifted in China, we started to see changes to behaviour quite quickly, much quicker on the roads than public transport,” he said.
Fuck do we have to top the up? Bet Gladys has us locked in a deal where we pay them not to use the road.
What's the bet they ask for a bail out?
Didn’t take them long to increase toll prices and bring more misery to general public who are losing some or all income. FKU transurban. Do your bit and cut prices you cnts.

'Beware of complacency' amid COVID-19 news | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says although there are early signs of Australia's daily infection rate plateauing, 'beware of any sense in the media … that we've done anywhere near enough to bring this crisis under control'.\n\nFederal Health Minister Greg Hunt and his state counterparts struck a deal on Tuesday to integrate private and public hospitals to increase Australia's health care capacity amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.\n\nThe minister also announced an increased capacity of ventilators, and intensive care beds.\n\nMs Credlin said it has always been 'absolutely essential' Australia avoided an 'Italian-style meltdown of our health system'.\n\nShe also mentioned how after a 'couple of weeks of ever-tightening social distancing rules' there are early signs in Australia 'that new infections, are starting to plateau'.\n\n'Beware of complacency,' Ms Credlin said because the experts in this field - epidemiologists - will want to 'see days and days of plateauing, and then falls' before there are any moves 'to ease social distancing rules'.\n Failed Abbott Chief of Staff Peta Credlin... Fixed. I feel dirty, I agree with Peta Credlin. Trust Credlin to rain on any good news!
