Bus Drivers Require Better Training & Education To Prevent Lateness To And From Bus Interchanges!

Another lovely commuter Evelyn from Dharruk had a very quick simple conversation as how she would like public transport improved. She travels by Busways 758 from Dharruk to Mount Druitt and then Sydney Trains to Parramatta return.

Evelyn  confirmed she has signed the Proposed Mount Druitt Free Bus shuttle petition and was proud in doing this as it is a much need service that is required for the people of Mount Druitt.

She would like to see more buses that is improvements in time tables and scheduled bus services to mostly avoid delays as sometimes this happens  to her and she claims the best way to probably solve this is to have bus drivers provided with better training and education. This then makes then aware of interchanging to change trains or visa-versa.

Bus Stops That Make Buses Stop Over Private Driveways - Blocking Residents From Driving In Or Out!

When NSW for Transport oversee bus stops being implemented, constructed and/or redesigned, which is usually Bus Operator plus Representative from NSW Roads & Maritime Services and Transport officer from Blacktown City Council, there seems to be little community consultation as where a bus stop can be placed.

In saying this, it is imperative that the residents of where the bus stop is being placed is provided  great consideration, whilst ensuring the bus stop is in a  safe and secure area, that allows direct access to catch public transport buses.

Here, we have an example of bus stops allowing bus to over creep, not only that, the 60 Kilometre sign is blocked when  driving alongside the sign post and commuters go inside the property of where the driveway is based, to hide under cover when it rains.
