News: Eastern suburbs bus changes: Commuters fear privatisation
In a last-ditch effort, Coogee MP Marjorie O’Neill secured an Upper House inquiry into the impact of the privatisation of NSW buses and the cuts to services in recent years.
Last May, the NSW Government announced 25 bus routes from the eastern suburbs would be cancelled, adding to six routes previously cut.
“For three years our community has been crying out to save our buses. They were ignored. Hopefully this inquiry gets the government to pay some attention.” says Randwick Mayor Dylan Parker.
