In Western Sydney alone there are over 10,000 bus tops - I could not name each and every one of them nor determine where they are! Yet if we were to lookaround the area of Mount Druitt (Pending the boundaries wthat you claim is Mount Druitt), you may find there would be approximately 800-1000 bus stops. This is a very rough estimate and maybe out in our community someone might have better and most up-to-date figures.
Now if we look at the lower estimated figure of 800 - we can now ask ourselves how many of these bus stops are covered (sheltered) stops and then seated bus stops only. My estimate is we might be lucky to reach twenty percent. Maybe my estimate is wrong. When all our bus tops are technically all numbered in the future then we might be able to get a statistic as to the answers to sheltered and seated bus stops.
I look at it this way if there is anywhere between 4-5 commuters waiting for a bus - then this is where a sheltered bus stop should be built. What I don't understand is where is there policy put in place for sheltered bus stops as opposed to unsheltered bus tops - what is the real ratio!
After speaking to one of the bus operaters, advice given to us is that this is left with the local councils as their responsibility. After speaking to one of the Council operaters this is done with the approval on New South Wales Transport - So we will clarify who does what and what does who?
