New Time Table Buses: Passengers Become Atheletes On Last Nightly Bus To Home!

One of our Community members from Lethbridge Park, Phill, has had a lot of issues with the newly implemented bus time tables introduced by the NSW Government.

The NSW Government would like patrons on to become athletes when you trans at night to catch buses in Mount Druitt Interchange. Phil used to get the bus on time with the previous bus time tables but since the discovering the deletion of the 755 Busways bus service and the replacement of an awkward running Westbus 759 bus route which doesn't goes to Shalvey but goes to and from Mount Druitt via Dharruk, Blacktt, Emerton , Lethbridge Park, loop around Wilmott, Ropes Crossing, Werrington County, North St Marys and St Marys. This is a half an hour service as opposed to 755 which was a well patronised 43 years long bus service. Just saying the last sentence takes one minute to say it! It was one of the lifeline bus services around Mount Druitt.

When Phil returns to Mount Druitt by train he reaches Mount now at 11.13pm and this allows patrons one minute to walk up two flights of stairs walk on the walk way , don one flight of stairs, that takes you to Stand 7. Just saying the last sentence just about takes one minute to say it!

This leaves the Westbus 759 to leave without passengers as it leaves at 11.14pm! With the previous 755 Busways bus service this did not occur! He continually misses the buses and this becomes a frightful experience waiting for the next bus - a safety issue I'm sure the 'Powers to be' didn't realise. He would like 755 brought back as it was before, even with the more enhanced service of n 15 minutes during the day.Why take out a service when the majority of community members were happy with it!
