Increase peak hour 437 Bus Services
Please sign our petition below to increase 437 bus services during weekday peak times.
Our community deserves world-class public transport. Unfortunately, since the privatisation of Inner West buses, many services have become increasingly overcrowded and unreliable, including the 437 service through Leichhardt and Lilyfield.
Despite living so close to the city, many of us in Lilyfield and Leichhardt find that the 437 bus is too full to collect passengers during the morning peak, and not frequent enough during the evening peak. This is pushing more and more people to get in their cars and drive the short distance to the CBD, rather than risk waiting for an unreliable and overcrowded service that may not pick them up. This leads to further congestion on an already strained Rozelle Interchange.
Our community deserves better. We need to increase the number of 437 buses during peak hours, to ensure people are not left waiting and unable to use public transport to travel into the city. Please sign our petition to the Minister for Transport to support increased 437 services.
We call on the Minister for Transport to recognise the impact of overcrowded and unreliable services on residents in Leichhardt and Lilyfield and to act quickly to increase the frequency of 437 bus services during weekday peak times. |
Local public transport should be frequent, affordable, accessible, and reliable. The problems plaguing the 437 service are unacceptable, and the government needs to commit to working with bus service providers to increase the frequency of this service, to ensure reliable public transport options are available for our community.
