Busways Blacktwown/Plumpton & Penrith Depots Worse Amount of Non-Airdconditioned Buses, within NSW Bus Rehion 1 After 25 Years - Lester- 'Mount Druitt Commuters Group'

It seems that after Lester, Secretary of the Mount Druitt Commuters Improvement Group Inc. has done the number crunching figures - that Busways Blacktown (Plumpton), has the worse number of  non-airconditioned buses in their depot, within  NSW Bus region 1.

This is why Busways bus drivers are travelling in heat days complaining about not been properly looked after for comfort and want to return 'unair-conditioned buses' for air-conditioned buses.  Here is the report from Lester:

Make up of the Busways fleet in Sydney with the number of air conditioned and non-air conditioned buses allocated to the three main depots in Sydney.

Blacktown Depot.
155 buses. 46 non A/C. 109 A/C.
...

Mulgrave Depot.
50 buses. 14 non A/C. 36 A/C.
Penrith Depot.
91 buses. 38 non A/C. 53 A/C.
Pymble Head Office.
2 buses. Both A/C.
The non air-conditioned buses in the fleet entered service between 1992 and 2000.

We notice that Busways  Head Office is catered first: North of Sydney First, then Western Sydney.

I know Rome wasn't built in a day but air-conditioned buses seem to be  more than a quarter of a century to have them serviced in our area.  This takes into account if they blame NSW Transport or NDSW transport blames them.  This presents a good reason for a community petition to commence.
