All bus stops in Sydney are now numbered. What a job! How can this be done?
Well it is all based on suburban postcode and then numbered bus stops. Yes that simple! Transport NSW are on a day to day basis looking at improvement for commuters in all forms of public transport.This creative idea I give my full support and would like to promote to all Mount Druitt and surrounding communities.
I now know my bus stop number which is 2770243 when going to work and coming back is 2770149 on the 755 Busways bus route. Here is now you can find your own bus stop number - using mine as an example, click here:
1. http://www.131500.com.au/
2. Underneath 'Bus time tables' click on 'More timetable options'
3. Go to 'Street/Stop' and type in your street name (in his case Bulolo Drive and Elengowan Crescent
Whalan) and 'Enter'
4. You then locate you bus stop number ( in this case it is \Bulolo Drive -opposite Whalan Shops) 2770243
Further searching: next bus arrival:
5. Click on the highlighted bus stop name: Bulolo Dr (Opp.Whalan Shops)
6. And you reach the following brief results (on relevant information supplied):

Trips From:
Bulolo Dr (Opp.Whalan Shops) (2770243):
Route 755 - going to Mt Druitt Rail Stn (Stand 2), Mount Druitt from 2770243
| 8:51am 9:51am 10:51am 11:51am 12:51pm 1:51pm 2:51pm 3:51pm 4:51pm |
7. Then if you click on the next available time service for that bus stop - this is what you get: a list of bus
stop from the beginning of the route and the arrival time reaching stand 2 at Mount Druitt Interchange at
8.59am, also shows other bus stop numbers along the route. If you expand the timing point you will see
extended bus stops and whether the bus stop is an actual accessible bus stop. You can also check on next
trip.
Once you start to know your bus stop number by heart you will be able to place your bus stop number (for example 2770243 in step 3 on the above process instead of placing your street name. So now what do you think? Why does it need to be numbered ?
Many reasons: should you feel that your bus stop needs to be upgraded to a sheltered bus stop, if it has been vandalised, if the bus shelter has been removed and needs to be replaced due to and accident and it is a required shelter, it can be used for possible complaints of late or too early services, removal of graffiti, checking of time tables, later on "SM'S" for latest update of services and the list goes on. This is a definite improvement for the community.
What it is proposed to do, is you can dial 131500 then 1 then 1 and add your bus stop number it will advise you of next available bus service(s) from your bus stop as a recorded message on your phone, even mobile phone if you are at the bus stop. Not all areas are doing this yet but this will be updated in due time! What a technology we are getting!

As yet not all bus stops have been physically numbered - this will be up to Blacktown City Council and bus operators to comply with with the support of transport New South Wales - let ask them to comply with this as soon as possible.
