Northern Beaches Bus Service Update
Dear resident,
Further to my last update regarding Northern Beaches Bus service changes, I’m pleased to let you know that our ongoing work with the Transport Minister’s office and Transport for NSW is delivering outcomes.
TfNSW has listened to our feedback and is in the process of addressing the concerns and issues I raised on your behalf to the Minister’s office. This includes reinstating school buses, providing extra services to help with connections and increasing bus capacity so no one is left behind and students are at school on time.
I am still here to listen to your concerns and by no means are we stopping at just these changes. I have spoken to the Minister’s office today and reinforced the need to resolve other outstanding issues relating to bus services in our area.
I have provided a quick list below of some of the changes that directly affect our area. For more information please head to the TfNSW website.
