Notice of Motion regarding Lewisham and Petersham Station Upgrade Deferrals.

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. 

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.

As our city grows, it is increasingly critical that we expand transport services to meet growing demand and that we invest in infrastructure that will encourage more commuters to choose public transport options over private vehicles. 

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. 

Labor representatives Jo Haylen MP and Clr Anna York today slammed the Government’s failure to upgrade Petersham and Lewisham stations despite both being ranked more highly than other stations approved for upgrades. 

Notice of Motion regarding student concessions.

The Minister has doubled down on a policy that will put our bus drivers' jobs at risk, a policy that will threaten our bus stops, our vital bus routes and critical bus maintenance.
