Eleven routes will be rerouted, and eighty-seven will see timetable tweaks, sparking union fears of reduced service frequency. As the final metro stretch opens in October, officials tout smoother connections and better capacity, but drivers’ unions warn of cuts and call for investment in staff to restore reliability. Meanwhile, northern beaches drivers will disable Opal readers for two weeks, offering free rides amid ongoing wage negotiations. Despite lingering driver shortages, vacancies have dipped since last August, though staffing remains a challenge. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
