Designated Bicycle Carriages For Bicylces on Sydney Trains

Fata from Rooty Hill has long trips to work every day, but in doing so keeps fit as well.

 He travels by Sydney Trains to Lidcombe and the cycles from Lidcombe to Chullora to work and return - which takes him about 20 minutes. He would like to see improvements on Sydney Train services going home finds there are issues to placing a pushbike on on overcrowded trains and carriages. A suggest ion to have designated  carriages committed to cyclists (usually the last carriage - this is used for) as what happens in New Zealand).

This will make Fata and other bicycle commuters easier to travel on Sydney Trains and not provide discomfort to other commuters.

Walking And Cycling - Does It Affect You? Have Your Say!

Australian Department of Infrastructure and Transport are now seeking submissions from the community on walking, riding and access to public transport. This is a good time for all walkers to have their say for future improvements, ranging on many things better conditions, sign-age  wider pathways and  safer crossings just to mention a few. One of the things that get me is  sometimes accessing public transport it is walking from one mode of transport and reaching the other only to find missed and gone!

Cyclists we encourage for you to have your say, which can give you more safer cycle ways to enter and leave our suburbs and cities.
