Here comes our goals, ideas and suggestions to improve transport infrastructure around the community of Mount Druitt and surrounding suburbs. This is when we bring all our passion together, think of a better and good future so that there is a safer and more reliant. What is required efficient transport services provided in all areas of public transport, delivering a friendly customer service from transport employees - which  in turn promotes more commuters to catch more public transport services as everyone will be extremely happy to get to places, cost effectively.

Once our group sets our priorities straight, we will lobby consistently, with our new New South Wales Government State representatives, so that Mount Druitt is not neglected in all aspects of transport services coming in and around mount Druitt.

Here are the improvements that need to be done straightaway:

• Attention given to provide security measures for the safety and duty of care to commuters with evening train, bus and taxi services and other high time crimes. These may mean more Transit Officers on more trains and similar officers on the complete network of bus services travelling after 6pm at night. Also require is a high profile of  Police Officers on either foot patrols and /or tagging buses and taxis (unmarked cars) ensuring less anti-social behaviors are affecting the community. Other security measures  for bus drivers are complete polycarbonate plastic guards and the introduction of  Prepay bus services, allowing  for cashless bus to drive around.
• Hourly clean up the Mount Druitt bus interchange - fines incurred for leaving mess by individuals
• More police patrolling the Mount Druitt interchange.
• Re introduction of the Busways 762 bus from Mount Druitt to Bidwill full service (inclusive of weekends) and at least 6 bus stops on Chestnut Crescent, Bidwill
• Return of the full 755 Busways bus service - via Plumpton shops and then to Blacktown as before.
• A review of Blake way for bus services, including metro bus services and a free shuttle bus run around Mount Druitt.
• Upgrade of Rooty Hill train station  providing more accessibility.
• Double story Car park at Rooty Hill to cater for 500-600 cars
• Electronic signs on Mount Druitt and Rooty Hill train stations.

• Increased bus stop shelters (where required) from currently Blacktown Local Government Area from 34 percent to 50 percent
• Policing of destruction and graffiti of public property - instant fines provided.
• No gangs of youths hanging around on the top end of the interchange - thus creating potential brawls ( as witnessed before.
• Youths Of Public Transport -  an educational program designed to show the importance of public transport in each of there lives - thus promotes  better social behaviors for the youth in the areas - also showing fines/jail sentences incurred for anti-social behavior on any public transport. This can be shown at all educational facilities in all community. at the end of the program  a free trip with to visit a City Train Station or bus operator depot understanding how they run and maybe taking an interest in this vital industry.
• 'Paint your own Suburbia buses' - a scheme where a bus operator will allow one bus to be paint by the suburban community to brighten up colors of the bus  - matching and blending in with the bus operators colors/logo's. 
• Bus stop numbers to be placed on all bus stops with time tables -
• Station Master open day - commuters can meet the Station Master and view their improvements they would like for train infrastructure.
• Promotion of the Happy Bus Drivers nomination to extend to City Rail staff.
• Local Transport Group invited to attend bus reviews and train service reviews.
• Promotion of 131500 Transport Info line for compliments and complaints. That is advertising on trains buses and taxis.
