NSW: New ticketing system may experience teething problems

There could be long queues across Sydney during peak-hour today .. as commuters adjust
to the state government's new MyZone transport ticketing system.

Under the new regime .. the government says nine out of 10 fares will be the same or
cheaper .. although some ferry trips will cost more.

The number of travel zones has been reduced from as many as 20 to just five .. and
those travelling long distances are likely to benefit most from cheaper fares.

Transport Minister DAVID CAMPBELL's conceded there could be long queues during peak-hour
as commuters adjust to the new system .. but extra transport staff will be on hand to
help.
