Australia's toll road economy is unsustainable. Earlier this year, ex-#ACCC chairman Allan Fels and transport expert David Cousins released a report claiming Transurban is exploiting #Sydney motorists, urging the #NSW government to take over toll roads. Transurban controls 11 of NSW’s 13 toll roads, each with different contracts and price hikes. The report says NSW motorists will pay over $123 billion in tolls over 37 years, with Transurban’s #WestConnex motorway accounting for more than half. #highwayrobbery ##privitisation #greed #MultinationalCorporations #mostTolledCityOnEarth

Mega corporations control most Australian toll roads, causing ever-increasing costs for motorists. In #Sydney alone, drivers pay $2.5 billion annually in tolls. A recent review in #NSW has now recommended overhauling the toll road system. #mostTolledCityOnEarth #privitisation #tolls #MultinationalCorporations #greed #slavery

"The New South Wales government needs to take back control of tolls." (#pigsfly)

The report forecast that drivers would pay $195 billion in tolls between now and 2060.

The biggest toll burden is due to #WestConnex, which the report found drivers will pay for "three times over".
