Vanshi from Homebush travels 6 to 7 days a week to St Clair for work and catches 775/6 bus to Mount Druitt train station. He finds that due to working shift work he finishes Sundays at 7am and has to wait 2 hours for the first bus to take him home. He would like life to be easier and improved by the NSW Government to have bus services commencing around 7.30am at least, so he can get home earlier.
We, only think that only our community members have been asking for years for early bus services on Sunday mornings to get to family activities, public events or to get to work. Yet, we forget that by not providing early bus services to our local suburbs in and around Mount Druitt, there are people that being affected living outside our area that really rely and depend on these vital bus services to get home!
We ask NSW Members of Parliament: newly elected Hon. Edmond Atalla, Member for Mount Druitt and Hon. Tanya Davies relected Member for Mulgoa, to request the New NSW Minister of Transport, Hon. Andrew Constance ask that NSW Bus Region 1 be reviewed to increase early morning bus services as an extension of bus services in all areas of Mount Druitt, St Marys in early hours of all Sundays and public holidays.
By doing this, we can create more job stability for all community members and members of other communities that live outside our area but work within NSW Bus Region 1. For over 5 years I have been personally advocating for these public transport improvements, to date falling on deaf ears.
Bidwill is a fine example where bus services do not run on Sundays along Chestnut Crescent. So that means that tomorrow (Friday), Sunday and Monday will be non-event for bus services. This is based on current time tabled services.This will need to be addresses as well!
