Our Group Member Has Great Idea For Buses!

Yes, it is from within the community that provides great ideas for improved &better transport services and this time it is from within our group that has brought up a brilliant idea. It is an idea that is being used in some buses, trains and yet so simple it can be done at little extra cost.

Angie representing Shalvey and one of our WSPTU Policy committee member, has suggested that Transport NSW and bus operators investigate improving buses  services with the implementation of audio recording introducing what buses you are getting and the end destination. I would add that it also records that the Bus operator and Transport NSW wishes every commuter a safe and comfortable journey.

This is a two part benefit one to the driver -allowing him/her to have commuters aware of where they are going on entry, less questions asked, less wasted time and thus a quicker set down time. Maybe the right parties can put into practice this idea  as soon as possible as a positive initiative from Mount Druitt and the within the Greater Western Sydney.

Good idea, but as a bus driver it would drive me nuts listening to that all day. Just as easy to ask the driver where we will be going too & it makes the passenger happy having personal contact with the driver. Ive made many people happy & laugh just talking to them. Some people don't get much personal contact with people they can trust, this is one way they can
