Mount Druitt has nothing like this. I propose what is required is a return bus service that takes you through from Mount Druitt,o North Rooty Hill, Plumpton Shops, Oakhurst, Bidwill, Shalvey, Lethbridge Park, Blackett, Emerton, Whalan and return to Mount Druitt. If this is run every half hour - this could make more people leave cars at home. Why would you use petrol when you would have a free service? Something for community members to think about. You don't hear this type of suggestion coming from the bus operaters (when they are subsidised by the NSW Government).
Overall less pollution, reduced traffic congestion within traffic lights, less traffic incidents of traffic accident, less cars on the road , reduced overall fuel comsumption, incereased job opportunties for bus drivers and healthier lifestyles as this will promote walking to and from bus stops, shops thus enhanced lifestyles for more commuters which can be a plus for overall public transport. As to the think tanking part -which suburbs bus drives through first a task force can be created to work with the NSW department of transport or we all lobby Blacktown Council.
Once the government fixes up it's deleted services and returns them to the community`, this can be a 'Sorry, I didn't mean to do it?" present to the community - patronage should then be encourage by word of mouth to all community members - maybe this bus route could be called the 755 free community bus?
