A NSW Labor government would keep Sydney's Western Harbour Tunnel in public hands and cap motorist tolls at $60 a week.
The opposition promise, born of a keenness to distinguish itself from the government's penchant for privatisation, comes with the message that drivers are ultimately footing an unreasonable bill and are entitled to a "fresh start".
The party claims private commuters will pay $115 billion in tolls over the life of NSW's existing urban transport contracts, with nearly all of it going to toll road operators and Sydney ranking as "the most tolled city" in the world.
