Where Do We Go from Here?

Boy, that is easy "Going forward" we will ensure that there is always moving essential, reliable Public Transport all around Mount Druitt

I understand that there needs to be a voice from within the community, actually that voice would be representing hundreds and also thousands of voices that want, need and require transport services in and around Mount Druitt.

Should there not be a voice then Local, State and Federal governments will just 'railroad' transport changes without providing proper community process, advice and feedback. Public 'outcry' reaction through would start splinter groups that would become like us. Thus including a group like ours in the Local Transport Decision process will benefit not just the community, the Transport representatives that run each from of transport and the government officials that make important decisions, paid by the community.

We need to be invited with the bus review process and decisions with City Rail for train time table process and also with the NSW Taxi Council.

Gap buses - what are they and do they work? Flexi bus services will this be the bus of the future: the same cost of your bus fare, you ring up to book your trip to pick you up in your front door - but you have to book your trip at least one hour before.

I'm starting to talk to some people around the area to get a feeling how people would react to it. Everything is negative until you mention the cost is the same as your daily ticket or weekly ticket. It is getting people thinking about new options for public transport. New ventures to look at - something that will make everybody talking and be happy with. We need to ask the local press whether they feel this is what the community needs now . Yet this could be a something that comes in in5 years time!

We will back the community to ensure the correct amount of essential transport meets the demand of supply! We will move the Transport Forward not backwards!
