755 Replaced By 674 - Patronage

Well, since the press release from Allan Shearan, NSW Hon. Member for Lodonderry of the 'Shopper Hopper 674' patronage has increased even though, not all the community members know about this service (refer article on left).

Just last Tuesday fortnight, I was waiting for the 764 at 10.02am at the corner of Bulolo Road and Ellengowan Crescent, Whalan and one gentleman said to me - 'You won't get buses here anymore!'

I advised him that we are and he was surprised - and felt extremely happy. Later, a young teenager passed me overhearing our conversation and said the 'The NSW Government Should not have neglected this area' -he also asked about time tables - showed him that there has been a neglect for a time table to be placed on the bus stop by now!

Bus arrived and I couldn't get one time table from the bus driver - driver advised me that over 4,000 time tables were ordered and received were approx 800!

The day after, at the same bus stop approximately 9am there was a patronage of 9 commuters - next stop 1 more commuter. Community members knew who I was and said they just want their returned bus services. They can see how this would entirely benefit the community!
