Mr WELLS (Rowville) (14:49): (6244) My question is to the Minister for Public Transport. Minister, when will the Department of Transport review and upgrade the bus routes in Knox, particularly the 757 and 758 routes through Scoresby and Knoxfield? The 757 and 758 routes, which run from Knox City shopping centre, are typical of the public transport options for Knox residents. These services run largely during the day but not in the early morning or evening. There are no services on weekends or public holidays. You cannot rely on a service being there when you need it when there is a gap of nearly 2 hours between buses. Both routes ramble around the suburban streets, so many journeys can take a long time to complete. The 757 bus ends a few streets away from the shops at Scoresby Village while the 758 actually passes the Knoxville shops, yet neither bus has a connection for passengers going further south on Stud Road or to the major shopping centres at Stud Park, where the library, major banks and supermarkets are.
