Commuters in Sydney’s eastern suburbs will hold a rally this weekend to protest planned cuts of 25 bus routes.

Coogee MP Dr Marjorie O’Neill denied the Transport Minister’s assertion she’s running a “scare campaign”.

“On average there’s going to be net losses of … 12 services a day.

“This is not okay.”
