So Further Reports How Mount Druitt Area- Bus Region 1 - Is Behind Compared To Sydney City Bus Regions!

Where we are told by Busways that currently that are complying to 55% of accessible buses, we in NSW Bus Region 1 are behind the times compared to Bus Region 6,7,8 and 9 - All Sydney City Bus Regions.

Their  !ratio according to Sydney Bus Information 
Home Page - Quarterly Performance Information they are up to 86.9% of accessible buses for NSW Bus Regions 6,7,8 and 9.

Yet, according to Feed back from Busways they are up to 55% compliant for accessible buses in NSW Bus  Region 1.

That is we are 31.9% behind the times - all NSW Bus regions , should be compliant at the same rate as others, not make others more compliant then others less fortunate! I do think someone needs to get answers for us and raise the ratio of accessible buses to an equal percentage.

Refer to State Member of Mount Druitt response

You can see from the table below that accessible buses in Sydney City Regions 6,7,8 and 9, that accessible bus ratios have increased per quarter. Maybe we need a quarterly performance Report from Busways easily accessible on the web as well:
