More Wheels Means More Travelling........

Okay, what do I mean by this title? Simply what it says Having more wheels you will travel. Yes but to have more wheels you need to have more people on wheels.

I just had a vision that could sum up what we need in our travelling lives. I'm not a true 'Greenie' to the word but parts of me believe in some aspects of a 'Green' society. In saying this, I do want communities in and around Mount Druitt (and inclusive of all Western Sydney) to have natural gas powered buses - whether they are privately owned or government run based bus services.

How can public bus transport be promoted, when services are not on time, there are limited services, sometimes packed bus on peak time - long waiting times for next bus service and lastly what I have been campaigning for since my existence in Mount Druitt a two-way radio communication between Mount Druitt Trains and the bus drivers, announcing when trains are expected to arrive, when the train commuters have left the barriers of the train station.This allows excellent communication and not allowing bus drivers getting away with leaving early without picking up train passengers.

While some us drive in the comfort of our own cars, so many individual decisions have to be consciously made to ensure individual road safety and also for the safety of others. Yet when catching buses this pressure is alleviated and the responsibility an onus of public safety is completely left with the bus driver. The bus fares are reasonably cheap compared to ongoing running costs on driving your own car or taxis.

So more people getting on more wheel means more faster, efficient and happier travelling for all bus travellers. And yes, bus have more wheels than cars!
