Shalvey Has Bus Services Deleted -Real Issues For The Community

One of our group members has informed us of the time factor that happens now whilst going to 2 destinations with the current bus service - current 36 minutes to Mount Druitt and 22 minutes to Emerton.

It seems that the new times tables are not making efficient bus services and I'm sure if you each ssk bus drivers are they on time the answer is? Angie advised that the 755 bus had a proper well patronised service - by the time the bus reaches Whalan there is little standing room, it was a 15 minute service - which is now replaced by 2 bus services which both have a half an hour service! The 755 Busways service has now made it difficult for her to reach Blacktown - she claims taht she is in Blacktown City Council and previously had to go The TAFE in Blacktown as this catered for student with disabilities in Western Sydney, now it takes longer to get there with 2 buses one to Mount Druitt and then transfer to Blacktown. Parts of Sedgemen Crescent has been closed off and the bus stops remain.

Although bus services have stopped due to rock throwing incidents around the area - she claims if bus drivers have external cameras on the buses the culprits will be caught. Personally I think the offenders or their parent/guardians should pay for any damages caused to buses and/or bus drivers and that the police should introduce a community program for ll young and old to attend as a crime prevention to resolve safety issues around the area. Even unmarked police cars near the buses at night and day to catch the offenders!

Day to day works are finding it hard to reach to work walking further and further to reach bus stops either in pen fields and paddocks or under 'Safe underpasses' as the Minister of Transport has advised some patrons, through closed parks with broken Glass and pebbles around! Let's bring back the buses to Shalvey to what they should have been running too
