Transport Relief for Mitchell Bus Commuters

 Wednesday, 7 March 2012

The Federal Member for Mitchell, Alex Hawke MP has welcomed the announcement of 24 new buses and 46 new services during peak periods for residents of North West Sydney, by the NSW Minister for Transport, Gladys Berejiklian.

“Commuters who live in these growing parts of Sydney including Rouse Hill have been asking for more frequent services to the city and Parramatta, Alex Hawke said.

“Among the improvements is a new direct 602 Rouse Hill Town Centre to North Sydney route will be introduced on the M2. This service is expected to save passengers up to 25 minutes per trip, as they will not have to change buses mid-route, said Alex Hawke.

“On this route they will stop at employment centres such as Artarmon, St Leonards, Crows Nest and North Sydney with five new morning peak services and five new afternoon peak services.

“The new services will mean commuters will have more time at home to spend with their families,” concluded Alex Hawke.

The new buses and services will start operating from 19 March for customers travelling on the new Rouse Hill Town Centre to North Sydney route, with the final group of services from Kellyville Ridge to Parramatta starting in June.
