Public services

The Premier and Transport Minister have blatantly ignored community outrage, pushing ahead with the Liberal’s privatisation of the bus network.

The Government is expected to make an announcement about the new private operator of the Region 6 buses imminently, a move which will inevitably lead to reduced services and job cuts.

The Premier's decision to invest over $2 billion on the knock-down and rebuild of two stadiums will leave our inner west services even more underfunded and depleted. Sign the petition today.

When it comes to public transport policy this Government has shown nothing but contempt for the people of the inner west. In the past month we have learned that the Government will be ripping out 35 more bus stops across the inner west. This will affect commuters on the 412, 422, 423 , 426 and 428 routes. 

State Labor today demanded that the Berejiklian Government guarantee patient safety in the inner-west would not be compromised by its decision to close and sell the Summer Hill ambulance station.

Jo continues to defend our bus systems from privatisation. Privatisation of public buses has not worked, either overseas or in New South Wales. This is an embarrassing record, but still the transport Minister thinks he is onto a good thing. Enough is enough. If it is good enough to listen to a poll and name a new ferry Ferry McFerryface, then it is good enough to listen to the 20,000-plus residents who have signed these petitions. It is time the Minister admitted his mistakes and left our Inner West buses in public hands.

Jo Haylen MP, Member for Summer Hill, has slammed the decision by the Liberal State Government to remove bus stops on key inner west routes in advance of the sell-off of local bus services.
