HAVE YOUR SAY

Our community deserves reliable and frequent bus services that get us where we need to go. Since the former government cut the 445 bus route to Balmain East in 2019, peninsula residents have been left with unreliable services and poor public transport connections. 

Thanks to pressure from our community, the NSW Labor Government has committed to reinstating the 445 bus to Balmain East. They have opened public consultation on four options to help make this happen. Option A is to restore the 445 route to operate to and from Balmain East Wharf together with route 442. 

This is a huge step in the right direction. Community pressure has moved them this far, now we need to see this through.

Please take a moment to use our template to support the return of the 445 bus to Balmain East Wharf. You can customise the email and share any specific feedback you have on this proposal. 

We are calling on the NSW Labor Government and Transport for NSW to:

• Support Option A to restore the 445 route to operate to and from Balmain East Wharf together with route 442. 
• Work with our community to guarantee NO loss of parking for locals
• Prioritise the expansion of the electric bus fleet for use on this route to ensure diesel buses are not left idling outside people's homes
