Agenda For Western Sydney Transport Symposium on 7th August 2010

This is the agenda given to myself for the transport Symposium on 7th August 2010. You can then see how trans infrstructure planning now is extremely important for the future. Should we go backwards in transport planning our future children and their children may not be enjoying public transport life like we do.

Some of these issues are intriguing and can be the bases of future planning. I have some ideas on transport planning but I'm not going to be a genius on this issue, I think that if we all pull our heads together we will get what we want. That's one of the reasons our group has succeeded.

We need to look at what is around us, one day there will be no fuel to run all vehicles - then what energy source do we look at. We need to look at private trans wastage against an efficient, well patronised public natural gas=run buses and train services, that promote less use of private transport. About 15 years ago I was thinking of carpooling but I think bus pooling could be good. That is, bus operaters knowing in advance when and where will be waiting for bus services in convenience community places.

Take for example a family with 2-3 cars, there is the waste factor with 3 cars heading to around about the same place may have only one person in each vehicle heading to same destination. If there is a bus pool where there is no wasting of time people paying for fare you pay one amount and that does you for 10 trips. So anyone entering or leaving bus is only short time. Just swipe your plastic bus ticket on the machine and then the fare will be deducted and when you leave the bus you aloe swipe it and it will provide your self with a receipt for the correct journey. All payments are not to the bus driver and paid directly to newsagents or suppliers of bus transport tickets.

The same process can be made with Train tickets!!!

Anyway going ahead see you there!!!!!
