Young Whalan Worker - Didn't Take Job Because Of Lack Of Public Transport In The Western Sydney Employment Hub!

 A young new resident of Whalan  has recently moved from Old Mount Druitt, commutes by public transport catching the Westbus 780 to Mount Druitt train station and reaches Auburn train station allowing 10 minutes to reach work starting at 6 am.

He claims this is an improvement for himself  as he used to work in Punchbowl. He would like to one work in Mount Druitt and one have one mode of public transport.

He remembers  a few years ago that he was offered a labouring job in Eastern Creek - near the Western Sydney Employment Hub and didn't take the job up as there was any public transport that he could  make him reach there, I suggested he  looks up the  table for the  Busways 723 and that will cover that area now - this  bus service only started last year! He took in my advice.

Neville From Eastern Creek Seeks Increased Sunday Bus Services

Neville from Eastern Creek travels two to three times a month by bus to Mount Druitt and then travels by train to Town Hall. He was honest and said, 'Trains are alright!'

But buses are not to 'hot'! He currently finds on Busways 737 from Eastern Creek that bus services on Sunday are only 2 hourly. This creates a problem with him and other commuters that would like to  go down to Mount Druitt, do their shopping  - they are allowed a window of  approximately for shopping for about 90 minutes - allowing time to catch the return bus at home, if reaching Mount Druitt  bus interchange at 9.24am.

Neville  would like to see at least an hourly bus service on Sundays allowing more time to do shopping, and if you miss one service then  at least you have only one hour to wait. What he would do would be walk to Rooty Hill train station and then walk to Eastern Creek -  most likely a at least 45 minutes walk or more! Now keep it in mind he states that other community members would catch the  Bus Service.

He also said that it is good that I say things and advocate for the community as ' If you say nothing, nothing will happen!' It is more important for people to have their say and be heard, ears of importance are listening!
