A lot of you would know of Blake Bardowksi our young member of our group, that has come out of the blue (from within the community), seen, heard and experienced the issues that the Mount Druitt community when we started to save bus services. Well Blake is checking out what is happening and can see good news and bad news around the area.
The first Item is from premier Christina Keanelly which is a plan for the future - well that is what we want. It seems Mount Druitt is on the map with the future bus transport (Refer Page 90). Let's hope that the future plan is not dropped by the next New South Wales Government - no matter who wins and governs.
The second, where it relates to bus service of 740 from Plumpton no longer operating at Epping Station - the affect of this is outside Mount Druitt - but can affect a lot of commuters within Mount Druitt.
He finishes off by providing better timed bus services for the community. Here it is:-
Dear John,
I have good news:
Ms Keanelly is planning to improve services to the Mt Druitt-Blacktown area in the near future. Shown here: http://www.metroplansydney.nsw.gov.au/portals/0/pdf/METRO2036_C_TRANSPORT.pdf (8.56MB)
And some bad news:
Busways has diverted it's 740 Service. From the 17/01/2011, the 740 will no longer travel via Epping Station. Shown here: http://busways.com.au/index.php?q=node/1268
Back to good news:
Also on the subject of new services, I have thought of making the buses running times split in two. Make Services for Peak hours and Saturday (8am-6pm) and Weekday Off-Peak, Night Time, Sat. Night and Sundays/Pub Hols. Or make it split services for Weekdays and Weekends.
Cheers,
Blake
