Upper Beaconsfield bus services
Mr BATTIN (Gembrook) (18:05): (6116) My adjournment tonight is to the Minister for Public Transport, and I raise an issue in Upper Beaconsfield that I have been raising for a while in relation to the Myki system and a bus system and the paying of cash for tickets by students on the bus to Berwick Secondary College. It is something we have been asking the minister for for a long time. What we are going to do now is ask, as the action, if the minister would like to come out and ride on the bus with the students and see what they are having to do every day so far as what is happening, because the Myki system they have continuously been promised has not eventuated and it is costing families in my electorate money. It is very important that the minister comes out, has a discussion with those parents, gets on board with what we need to do, makes sure that our students are not using cash during this time of the COVID crisis and gets them onto the cheapest and best system that they can use for their public transport to and from school.
