Transdev Sydney Managing Director Arsene Durand-Raucher said he apologised for the service disruptions and urged customers to plan ahead.

“We are working hard with transport partners to minimise impact to customers caused by this industrial action,” Mr Durand-Raucher said.

“Customers should plan ahead and consider alternate transport options during the disruption period or, if possible, avoid non-essential travel on the trams.

“We will have as many personnel as possible on the ground to help manage the disruptions. Testing activities for Parramatta Light Rail will continue.

“We thank customers for their patience as we work to resolve our new Enterprise Agreement.”
