 Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (14:51): (2347) My constituency question is also for the Minister for Public and Active Transport, and it concerns the 541 bus from Broadmeadows station to Craigieburn North. A constituent recently contacted me regarding the frequent inconsistency and delays of the 541 bus. These delays have caused both financial and general heightened stress upon my constituent and even left them missing a medical appointment because of the unreliability of the service. In addition, the constituent outlined how the buses along this route often do not display the route they are travelling, making it difficult for passengers to actually identify the right service. I recently wrote to the minister seeking action on this bus route, and I once again ask: will the minister ensure that the 541 bus route is properly funded to ensure that constituents can adequately rely on the service moving forward?
