Advice

The Committee majority supported the recommendation.

Background

Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) have developed an integrated bus network plan for Sydney’s South East to provide much needed capacity improvements for customers and support the existing and emerging travel plans.

This includes changes to the bus routes 343 and 304 which will include new bus zones and extending the length of existing bus zones to enable both standard and articulated buses to draw in close and parallel to the kerb to facilitate safe boarding and alighting of passengers and provide a more efficient access for residents to public transport.
