Further to the required bus services on Australia Day at Rooty Hill... it was suggested by a Transport For NSW officer that we contact BCC and local bus operators to negotiate, have open discussions.
I've contacted one bus operators yesterday and asked if they would help - the comment was was the spokesperson, 'No. We are not contracted to do these routes. We are contracted from Transport For NSW and that is all we are contracted to do.'
After further questioning, the operator's spokesperson had told me, That Blacktown City Council can charter buses from Busways without involvement of contract changes!'
Amazing that bus operator cannot do the job but they can assist in making sure the job of having bus shuttles can be done. A funny way of ensuring that commuters are well looked after in bus shuttles getting to Rooty Hill for Australia Day. The other thing is - it only happens once a year - we are not talking as if it is 365 days per year - if we were I wonder how bus operators would co-operate!
