As Chairperson of a group trying to return bus services removed /deleted from within Mount Druitt - I think the government has gone backward - the plan should be now to increase bus servicesn not wait for a long time for this to happen - The community needs proper tranmsport and we need to promote more car off the road get community membersi nto cheaper public/private transport - this also brings make the air less polutant as well - less fumes in the air!

Thank you to WSROC for providing this opportunity!Following on from John’s earlier post- It is essential that we treat all levels of our transport system equally: Direct services along strategic corridors; Feeder services along primary routes feeding into corridors; Local secondary routes servicing local centres; Active transport; Community Transport (Home and Community Care)There appears to be an increasing focus on express direct services along strategic corridors. Whilst this is ESSENTIAL for a efficient mass transit system that is a viable alternative to the car, the increasing allocation of resources to direct links appears to be creating a ‘gap’ in our transport network.People who are unable to drive, who do not have access to a car, who are unable to walk or cycle to direct bus route stops but who are ineligible for HACC Transport services are becoming isolated from the public transport system. Let us not forget the importance of local transport options!

Transport is critical for all of the other areas to succeed. There's no point having great learning centres, art, culture, sporting activities etc if noone can get there. We need to be less reliant on cars and provide other avenues for people, particularly young people to move about the region.Bring on the bike paths, bring on reliable bus services and bring on more action and less talking about it
