Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said with community transmission remaining low, NSW Health recognised that transport usage will increase across the network.
“We know more people are moving around this summer and we are at a stage where we can safely let more people onto the public transport network to help people get back to jobs, recreational activities and public spaces in a COVID-safe way,” Mr Constance said.
A Waratah train will now be able to carry 86 customers per carriage (up from 68) and a typical two-door bus will be able to carry 27 customers (up from 23).
An additional 1,200 services have also been added to the 3,300 extra services rolled out in June, while additional demand for NSW TrainLink services is being met by supplementary coach services to maintain physical distancing for long distance trips.
Commuters are being urged to plan ahead and check physical distancing capacity, wear a mask, and sit or stand on a green dot.
