Luke GrantHOST
I know how many people are just filthy on the illegal e-bikes.
Luke GrantHOST
Well, 36 illegal e-bikes were seized following the first NSW Police and Transport for NSW joint operation since new laws came into effect.
Luke GrantHOST
In August, the new laws became enforceable, allowing illegal, modified or high-powered e-bikes and other non-registerable motor vehicles and unregistered registered vehicles used in public places to be seized and destroyed.
Luke GrantHOST
Now, this operation patrolling Manly, Curl Curl, DY and Avalon yesterday, they targeted illegal, modified, high-powered e-bike use in the Northern Beaches area.
Ben FordhamHOST
It's part of industrial action from the Maritime Union.
Ben FordhamHOST
Transport for New South Wales maintains staff can't legally turn off the Opal readers, and they say regular fares will still apply.
Ben FordhamHOST
However, the union says they're not selling, collecting, or validating tickets, so good luck.
Ben FordhamHOST
It comes as they're negotiating a new enterprise agreement with the ferry operator Transdev.
Tim BlackwellHOST
But...
Tim BlackwellHOST
Transport NSW says normal fares still apply on ferries and Opal readers will remain switched on.
Tim BlackwellHOST
So, if you are going to catch a ferry this morning, we'd love to hear from you because we're hearing both sides of the story, both very different sides of the story.
Tim BlackwellHOST

What's going on?
Sarah HarrisCORRESPONDENT
It's a fight on the harbour, on the high seas.
Sarah HarrisCORRESPONDENT
You've got Transport NSW saying, look, it isn't protected industrial action to turn off opal card readers and passengers need to tap on and off.
Sarah HarrisCORRESPONDENT
as usual.
Casey DeanGUEST
I had a really good s- ate really well, had a really good sleep that night.
Casey DeanGUEST
New South Wales Transport's amazing, so getting to the start line was great.
Casey DeanGUEST
Feeling all in all pretty positive, um, but that was my first experience of hitting the wall in Sydney.
Casey DeanGUEST
Um, Centennial Park really, really got me.
Clinton MaynardHOST
Until the October long weekend, Opal card readers will be switched off at all the wharves around the city.
Clinton MaynardHOST
Transport for New South Wales says, look, if you can continue to tap on and tap off, do that.
Clinton MaynardHOST
But there's going to be no fines issued while you're doing this.
Clinton MaynardHOST
Howard Collins, and Jack just mentioned this in the news now, Howard Collins, the Transport for New South Wales Coordinator-General, says, look, customers should still do the right thing.
Clinton MaynardHOST
They should tap on and tap off.
Clinton MaynardHOST
But this, in the end, is going to cost the government, at the end of the day, a lot of money.
Clinton MaynardHOST
The union's deputy state secretary of the MUA, Paul Garrett, says the government says they want to solve this, but they're not being very genuine about it.
Paul GarrettSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, if transport for New South Wales were fair dinkum and the New South Wales government was fair dinkum, they'll be calling meetings today to get everyone to the table.
Melissa CorneoCORRESPONDENT
So buses will be replacing services between Tallawong and Chatswood.
Melissa CorneoCORRESPONDENT

Great, Melissa.
Tim WebsterHOST
Thank you.

I'm sure they won't have ticket inspectors out there.

We'll check with Transport for New South Wales.
Clinton MaynardHOST
They're seeking a 5% wage increase.
Clinton MaynardHOST
But effectively, ferries are going to be for free for a month from Friday.
Johnny RocketHOST
Lane 2 is affected westbound.
Johnny RocketHOST
Transport for New South Wales is on the scene.
Johnny RocketHOST
Reduce your speed, merge with care, and give yourself a couple of extra minutes if you're heading through there this morning.
Johnny RocketHOST
Otherwise, the roads are as breezy as the weather.
David BrownHOST
All right, and just briefly, we've talked about whether engineers are being respected enough or having opportunity, and there have been a number of cases of people who are good engineers who've applied for thousands of jobs and got nowhere.
David BrownHOST
Transport for New South Wales put out an ad that said, and quote, and isn't it written in the modern form, you will be part of the transport modelling team which delivers strategic forecasting, modelling and analytic insights.
David BrownHOST
And it goes on, it then said, you will deliver transport and traffic modelling and forecasts to support evidence-based planning.
David BrownHOST
Evidence-based planning? I thought it was political-based planning, but nonetheless, perhaps AI wrote this thing.
Tim BlackwellHOST
once a fortnight.
Tim BlackwellHOST
So, tickets are available on the Transport for New South Wales website, or at least getting into the ballot is available there, and it closes at midnight on Friday, October 2, so get into that.
Tim BlackwellHOST
And we have also been named, we have a new title here in Sydney.
Tim BlackwellHOST
