Public Transport ABS Figures Comparison from 2006 to 2011 - Mount Druitt Postcode 2770

From the information provided from the Australian Bureau of Statistics you can see a noticeable difference in Public Transport trains approx. over 10 percent increase) &  buses  nearly a 30 percent increase, using one method and with train and bus  two way method over 10 per cent increase and a close to 15  percent decrease in taxi commuters.

Interesting facts - Does this mean we will get more services, with the increase?

Yet there are a lot of community members using cars, who if we have the top public transport system, would leave there cars at home  use public transport, save money and waste fuel and fuel costs!
