Melton electorate
Mr McGHIE (Melton) (14:43): (6233) My question is to the Minister for Public Transport. In November last year the Melton electorate was excited by the announcement that the Andrews Labor government will expand FlexiRide to Melton South following recent success in other suburbs across Melbourne. FlexiRide services do not have a fixed route. Passengers are able to book a seat via the FlexiRide Melton South app or phone, be directed to their closest bus stop—either a physical stop or an appropriate alternative location—and be picked up and transported to dedicated hubs. Four new buses now connect passengers to key destination hubs such as Cobblebank station, Melton station, Woodgrove shopping centre, Melton bus interchange and schools in Melton South and Thornhill Park. The FlexiRide Melton South app provides users with real-time information so passengers know exactly when their service is arriving. This is a fantastic service that helps serve those in Melton South, especially in the newer parts of the electorate that are not currently served by public transport. I was excited to ride the service myself with the minister last year. Minister, what is the latest information on the usage of this important delivery of public transport for my constituents?
