Have your say on Coast’s bus services

Central Coast passengers will have the chance to speak with the NSW Government on what they want from their bus services this Friday, October 20, at special sessions to be held at Central Coast Leagues Club.

As part of the Government’s Bus Industry Taskforce, the face-to-face forum will provide an opportunity for bus passengers to give their feedback to taskforce members and Transport for NSW planners.

The Bus Industry Taskforce was formed to make recommendations to improve the reliability, quality and effectiveness of bus services across NSW.

Commuters can discuss bus services, frequency, reliability, routes, bus stop set-ups and accessibility, with feedback to help inform decisions on how to improve bus services in the region.

The sessions will be held from 1pm-1.45pm and from 2pm-2.45pm on October 20.

Minister for the Central Coast David Harris said the sessions would provide a great opportunity for passengers to have their say on the improvements they would like to see to the local bus network.

“I look forward to hearing people’s comments and concerns and will continue to work with Transport for NSW to improve services for our city and region that matches our growing demand for public transport services,” he said.

Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Marjorie O’Neill said a constantly evolving and improving public transport network was vital for the communities on the Central Coast.

“I know passengers will have a lot to say,” she said.

“I know connectivity and integration with train services has been a particularly hot topic in this area.

“I am looking forward to hearing from community groups, passengers and business representatives to discuss what works and what needs improvement.”
