We, in Mount Druitt fall under NSW Bus Region 1 and  an announcement has been made by Busways on the new time table changes commencing as from 29th November 2015.

Changes to the bus reviews normally will affect the community if services are removed or cut off from community streets or even be very satisfying to the community where bus services will reach  further out to our local community, especially with a growing population.

The benefits for the area is, the new bus service that is traveling past Mount Druitt Hospital according to released maps. At this stage, as a former President/Secretary of Mount Druitt Commuters Improvement Group Inc. congratulations goes to the group as they have been advocating for a bus service to take commuters to the Mount Druitt hospital. Blacktown City Council had approved this bus service lately, to be incorporated in existing bus services around that area, this was headed by Councillor Edmond Atalla and now State Member for Mount Druitt. 

It is so pleasing that a local politician is really looking after the area, in relation to public transport. His strong commitment to get this bus service through NSW State Government, is highly commendable. On behalf of the community I thank him, so much!

It appears it doesn't go into the Mount Druitt Hospital and will travel on Luxford Road entrance to the hospital. I would like to suggest that a special 'Mount Druitt Hospital Bus" sign be placed at the Mount Druitt Bus interchange on the 29/11/2015.

Bus routes 725,727,737 and 739 replaced by new route 728 a revised route 729

 Route 759 has been amended in Willmot and Ropes Crossing to provide better coverage of the area around Australis Drive. This means that buses through Willmot will now be operating in both directions so it is important for passengers who are heading towards Emerton and Mt Druitt to catch their service on the opposite side of Captain Cook Drive.

This is called streaming the 759 bus route to provide a shorter timed trip for commuters the Limited Shopper Hopper service 674,  will be traveling all along Palmyra Road, Willmot. The good thing about this is Busways is not cutting bus services like what happened in Bus review 2009, not listening to the community, back then!

I have noticed that the new bus services for NSW Region 1, starts 3 days after a Blacktown City Council Public Transport Forum - allowing a few days for feedback! This is a change from implementing these Bus Review changes, prior to the Forum.
