Unanswered Questions

We, as a Group have not had any direct answers to the following unanswered questions and statement that the community has provided to us for answers from the NSW Hon. Member of Londonderry and Mount Druitt and even The Minister of Transport. We list the issues raised at the first Save Our Bus Services, Mount Druitt And Surrounding Suburbs meeting on the 7th November 2009:

1...Why was it cut?
2...Why have they not got enough time tables?
3...What about the safety of the kids?
4...It is too hard for the elderly and disabled
5...It has been a very good bus route why change it?
6...It is making it harder for school kids
7...We need a bus back at Gasmata, most people have to walk up to 800 metres tor more to get a bus which is more than the 400 metres required by NSW State Government, from the place that you live.
8...We want the 739, 740, 755 , 759, 761,762, 766, 769 , 774, 776 and 782.
9...We need buses before six for people to get to work
10..Kids are having to wait around almost an hour to get a bus home from school...if they finish
before school ends this is just a disaster waiting to happen.
11..No bus shelters and seats at the new bus stops
12..Some bus stop are in dangerous spots...on very busy roads with no crossing for the kids or
elderly
13..Buses have been taken away from important places like medical centres schools and shops..
14..New units for the elderly have been built and now there easiest bus has been taken ..
15..Bus drivers attitudes are both dismissing and uncaring ...they now have to taken the brunt of
the Public anger which in turn angers the public even more..
16..We have used the same routes for almost 43 years and with very little fuss
17..Why do buses now terminate at Plumpton and Werrington instead of going through to St.
Marys?
18 Community members around Bidwil suburbs used to be able to go direct to Plumpton Shops
- now it takes longer as it is 2 trips - one bus to Mount Druitt and one bus from Mount
Druitt to Plumpton shopping Centre.

Once we receive a response, we will advise you - the only response we have so far is that the Hon. Minister of Transport has advised that ' Constituents comments' will be included in the annual review process undertaken by Busways,Westbus and NSW Transport and Infrastructure, as of 24th November 2009.

It appears that to have our deleted services as per pre - 11/10/09 time table and retaining new services that has been introduced suburbs around the area may take a long time,yet we will not give up.
