 Sam GROTH (Nepean) (14:37): (108) Residents in Nepean already face enormous public transport challenges due to the issue of insufficient services, unreliable schedules and now totally inaccurate timetables. I have received reports from several residents who have been seriously inconvenienced by timetables at bus stops in my electorate. The issue has been caused by the bus stops displaying only the nine-month timetable and not the summer timetable, which is often the one used when my electorate is at its busiest. Indeed one elderly resident raised the issue with Public Transport Victoria and was told she needed to use the app, which is not a practical solution for everyone, especially those who are elderly. My question is for the Minister for Public Transport: will the bus stops across my electorate be updated to include accurate timetables for the whole year?
