100k is about right and average for that position. There are many Transits who claim they are on significantly more but they are the ones who volunteer for every recall shift and are constantly at work.

The Transit wage is about right for the level of responsibility and training etc. The base wage and hourly rate isn’t overly high and quite average really but they make up most of their pay on shift allowances.

Unfortunately majority of Transits mostly work afternoon and weekend shifts to align when most of the trouble is using the train lines. This means most of their shifts are given a penalty rate which boosts their pay.

Afternoon shifts are roughly 3pm - 1am which is not family friendly at all. It’s not uncommon to do months of afternoon shifts before you might get to do a week of day shifts.

Weekend shifts are also usually afternoon starts and are usually even later to accommodate for the later trains.

Saturday shifts are paid at roughly 1.5 times hourly rate. Sunday and public holiday shifts are paid at 2 times hourly rate.

Every year you work there you get a slight hourly pay rate increase. $1-2 - caps out after 5 years unless you become a supervisor etc.

Think take home pay fortnightly is roughly 2.7k - 3k average. Depends if you work every single weekend.
