Adjournment
East Warburton bus services
East Warburton bus services
Gaelle BROAD (Northern Victoria) (18:40): (1827) My adjournment is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport regarding the need for additional bus services in East Warburton. I received correspondence from a local resident. He has noticed that many do not tap on when they catch the bus. On a recent trip he counted 26 people who did not tap on. His son also uses the bus to get to training and is concerned that in East Warburton there are only four buses per day. The bus driver was asked why there were not more services to East Warburton, and he said the data says it is not needed because people are not tapping on and inspectors only come once a year. I note one of Infrastructure Victoria’s priorities in their 30-year plan is to run more bus and coach services in regional Victoria. The action I seek is for the minister to review this matter and ensure that there are enough bus services in East Warburton to meet the increased demand.
