Bikes on buses
Ms EDWARDS: It was my pleasure to be with the Minister for Public Transport in Castlemaine last week to announce the extension of the Andrews Labor government’s bikes on buses initiative in central Victoria. Bike racks will be installed on all buses travelling 14 local routes in Bendigo, the Bendigo to Heathcote route and all buses travelling six local routes in Castlemaine. It follows a successful trial in 2016. It is a real win for locals and tourists and provides cyclists with additional transport options and connections to our many popular recreational trails. I am proud that this initiative is being rolled out. It highlights the government’s commitment to providing more opportunities for active and healthy living.
