When Will Mt Druitt, Penrith & Lower Blue Mountains Get A T-Way

You ask yourself what is a T-Way? To answer your question properly it is a specially made roadway constructed for transit buses to go through residential areas, educational facilities and industrial areas.

If you look up the Transport Sydney buses website:

http://www.sydneybuses.info/western-sydney-buses.htm


Although known as LPT - there is an existing transit between Liverpool and Parramatta - since 2003 and is still running. buses are run by Hillsbus and Busways and when looking closely at timetables initial starts in morning are half an hour service to 12-15 minutes service peak times during the day. under an hour per trip. If this is so successful why not NSW Transport and The NSW Government look at studies to implement other Transit bus services in the outer Western Sydney like from Parramatta , Blacktown , Mount Druitt to Penrith and inclusive of to Bankstown, Castle Hill and Campbelltown.

This could be promoted as a wonderful to travel without worrying about driving ( as a commuter) the T-way Ten ticket is not a weekly ticket it is a ten trip ticket, so cost effective for the commuter if you are not a constant weekly user. Trips can be spaced out and since all buses would lead to Parramatta- in case commuters want to interconnect with another transit service buses would all leave at same time allowing for proper time for commuter transfer.
