I am pleased to announce that key learnings from the Route 980 ‘Turn Up and Go’ bus trial operating from Lilli Pilli to Caringbah will soon benefit more customers with improvements to the bus network planned from mid-January 2021.
Transport for NSW will conclude the Route 980 bus trial on 18 December. The trial has been running since November 2019 to encourage more people to catch public transport.
It is evident from the trial, and from constituent feedback, that more people will choose public transport if there are more regular bus services across the day that provide timely connections with train services at Caringbah station.
The trial also highlighted that the use of smaller buses restricted commuter capacity. With the use of the larger buses, more customers will benefit in the long run.
Weekly capacity will be boosted by around 30% or almost 3,000 additional seats for customers. Customers have more flexibility and choice around when they travel with more off-peak services being scheduled.
More than 115 extra weekly services will be added to the equivalent Route 977 from mid-January 2021:
every 15 minutes in the AM and PM peak (currently every 30-60 minutes)
every 30 minutes in weekday off-peak periods and on Saturdays (currently up to 90 minutes)
every 60 minutes on Sundays (currently every 120-150 minutes)
extended service hours during evenings on both weekdays and weekends.
We headed to Winston Hills today for our Community Cabinet, where we heard about issues ranging from the cost of living to local infrastructure. We’ll continue to hold the Minns Labor Government to account and stand up for the people of NSW. ... See MoreSee Less

Natural🌿remedies do work. If they didn't, we wouldn't have used them for thousands of years. And, pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be studying plants, taking extracts of them, and patenting them as drugs.this is not a claim or lies I was totally cured from a deadly disease and neuropathy by Herbalist His remedy is surely the best. I suggest you try him out if you are having any health challenges and also get cured too, give him a try 👇👇 Dr osamu herbal home

Thanks for visiting - it was a pleasure having you meet the locals.
Hi Mark, very disappointing to see you let down your federal counterparts for no good reason. You say Australia can't wait for nuclear power,when Australia emits a immaterial 1%of the earth s carbon. A zero net Australia will change nothing. So why would you do what you did?
