Are Buses Straighter?

The question that I keep getting asked about is 'Why has our bus services being cut?'

As I didn't cause this the real answer is left with our local politicians. They are the ones we have elected to represent us in NSW Parliament and represent all concerns within our communities to provide an enhanced and better life for all of us - especially when it represents essential community services. To get the real answers ask them, write letters to them and even to the NSW Transport Minister. Write to local newspapers with your concerns or other people's concerns. Let's get our message across!

The underlying answer that seems to be cropping up is between the NSW Government Ministry of Transport and Bus operators around Mount Druitt to remove buses from small streets and 'Place them onto straighter roads!' So crooked/smaller roads is harder for drivers to go through after 43 years! Now are buses realy going straight!

The NSW Minister of transport is selling the idea that Region One buses has not changed in bus numbers - yet this is when you look at this on a 'Macro' basis within the area but when you look at 'Micro' maps of bus services there are increased services around Tregear and Ropes Crossing (new suburb), so which other services do you remove to cater for this new suburb? One of our group members was at Ropes Crossing the other day and there was 3 buses to pick up 6 commuters- we understand services should be going to Ropes Crossing - we are just asking questions!
