Publicly announcing its counter-claim in the Supreme Court against the NSW government yesterday, ERG has highlighted lack of help from the Public Transport and Ticketing Corporation (PTTC) and alleged the termination of the contract was made for political reasons.
South Australia is following NSW and Victoria down the path of cashless smartcard ticketing for public transport, with AU$29 million laid out in its budget over three years to kick start the system.
As the NSW government looks to go after some AU$90 million from the ERG Group over the state's cancelled Tcard project, ERG says there's only AU$17 million at stake.
Although ERG Group has threatened a lawsuit to reclaim its AU$250 million losses on the Tcard project, the Transport Minister's office believes the government is in a solid legal position.
The introduction of a new public transport smartcard for Melbourne will cost more than AU$1 billion, and is running 15 months behind schedule according to a report, but the Victorian government will persist with the project.
