State Labor will head to the March election promising “public transport over toll roads,” while also saying it will prioritise the needs of southern and western Sydney commuters over those in eastern and northern Sydney.

Labor leader Luke Foley will on Thursday announce his party’s transport action plan, with one immediate difference from the government’s policies being Labor’s pledge to scrap the proposed F6 motorway between Arncliffe and Kogarah.

Mr Foley will instead commit to an analysis of public transport options for the F6 corridor running through Banksia, Rockdale and Kogarah, parts of which have been preserved from development.

The plan is likely to create a sharper contrast with the Coalition than that presented at the 2015 election.
