Bus Users Need To Poo Too!

Contact us about The Bus Network Changes

On the 22nd of March 2010 the Bus network Routes have been chnaged as part of a broader Bus Networkreview directed by the NSW State Government in the Liverpool and its surrounding areas. The aims of the reviews are to develop bus services that better reflect community and community transport needs. According the State Government, the reviews will improve bus service performance by providing fast, frequent and direct services to regional centres as well as other import destinations such as hospitals, railway, education and community facilities.

Therefore, Liverpool Transport Taskforce is interested and keen to know what happen in the changes in Bus Network Routes in Region 3.

Interestingly, some people have found out that the bus routes changes will make it difficult for them because some services have been cut off. "The residents at Orchard Road discovered that route 844 is no longer in operating after the 22nd March 2010 " said George Smith. Route 844 normally use to take people from Orchard Rd to the T-Way and also to the Valley Plaza Shopping Centre and the surounding areas.

Good News for Liverpool Transport Taskforce

Liverpool Transport Taskforce had been lobbying the Mininstry of Transport and Liverpool City Council regarding the installation of public toilet at Liverpool Interchange.
Finally, there is a sign of progress ; the Council is considering the request of Liverpool Transport Force and they have confirm that a submission has been put forward to Council's budget review panel, for consideration for inclusion in the 2010/11 financial year for the provision of the toilet facilities at Bigge Park.
Secondly, the Minister of Transport reviewed the request of Liverpool Transport Taskforce for toilet facilities at Liverpool Interchange and then contacted RailCorp to advise his staff to give access the bus users to use to the toilet at the concours. The Customer Service Manager at Liverpool station has advised that station staff do open the barriers to anyone who requires the use of the toilet facilities at the concours. This will accommodate the bus users at Liverpool Interchange to use the toilet facilities at the station.
