It's a crying shame that Travelpasses only cover government-provided public
transport modes. The 2.4 million Sydneysiders who aren't lucky enough to
live within the area that receives state benevolence in the form of
state-provided street transport, and don't live within 500m of a railway
station, just have to make do with expensive non-integrated ticketing* for
generally poorer bus service.

to provide a BusPlus seamless weekly ticket from your nearest bus stop to
destination station at selected stations in western Sydney.]
