As part of the Minns Labor Government’s Bus Industry Taskforce the face-to-face forum will provide a much-needed opportunity for bus passengers to have their feedback captured by Taskforce members and Transport for NSW planners.
The Bus Industry Taskforce was formed to make recommendations to improve the reliability, quality and effectiveness of bus services across NSW.
Commuters can discuss bus services, frequency, reliability, routes, bus stop set ups and accessibility and feedback received will be used by the Taskforce and the Minister for Transport to inform further considerations and decisions on how to improve bus services in Wollongong.
The community is encouraged to register for one of two sessions.
Where: Wollongong City Diggers, 82 Church Street Wollongong NSW 2500
When: Friday 13 October 1pm-1:45 and 2pm-2:45pm.
For those unable to attend in person, feedback can be submitted by visiting https://www.nsw.gov.au/have-your-say/bus-industry-taskforce
Translation options are available and feedback can be submitted in a preferred language.
Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Marjorie O’Neill:
“A constantly evolving and improving public transport network is vital for communities in the Illawarra, and I know passengers will have a lot of say.
“This forum will give the community the chance to have their say about what can be done to make their journey on public transport more seamless.
“I know connectivity and integration with train services has been a particularly hot topic in this area.
“I am looking forward to hearing from community groups, passengers and business representatives to discuss what works and what needs improvement.”
Member for Wollongong Paul Scully:
“This is a great opportunity for everyone to have their say on the improvements that they would like to see to the local bus network.
“I’d encourage everyone interested in improving bus services in the Illawarra to come along and have their say.
“I look forward to hearing people’s comments and concerns and will continue to work with Transport for NSW to improve services for our city and region that matches our growing demand for public transport services.”
