Local Mount Druitt Commuter With Many Concerns Of Local Transport!

A wonderful  inspirational lady I met at Mount Druitt train Station and  walk way - stopped myself from catching the Busways 758 Bus unbeknown to her - yet it was alright as I was able to catch the Busways 755.

She sparked a lot of interest and really had so much to say I had to  ask questions again.Jill lives in Shalvey and raised  the following with me:

  • One day she approached a bus driver (who's bus was late) and relaxed mood she ask him jokingly, '"Where's your late note?' The bus driver responded, " I don't give a damned if the bus is late!'  
  • Shalvey Bus Stop  removed bus stop, no seats and no shed - at Emerson Street - needs the bus shelter to return. Refer original story: http://mountdruittcommuters.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/bus-shelter-missing-leaving-commuters.html
  • She left her mobile on the  bus once rang Busways Plumpton was told will be called back in a few days it was  6 months ago and she is still waiting for the phone call from Busways!She saw on the newspaper that that lost property is referred for auction/sale after a few days, if there is no one claiming it!
  • Claims a lot of bus drivers drive very fast over the limit causing some commuters to fall off seats - requests safety belts be placed on the seats on buses for commuter safety.
  • Travelling from Quakers Hill to Mount Druitt by train the glas door was shattered and  a lady and young school child was  injured. She pressed the emergency button. The ticket officer from this station, the guard never came and then the boy that was injured  had  been accompanied by Jill at Mount Druitt train station. The Station was very helpful until they checked the video tapes and nothing could be see of the glass shattering.'
I have advised her with transport issues to contact 131500 to record her issues! She agreed she  was able to update her folders/comments!
