Thank you for your comments, I certainly agree that Melbourne’s outer suburbs and areas being extensively redeveloped, should be the focus for public transport advocates. It is critical that we get the provision of public transport as these areas are being redeveloped to ensure that services are available as residents move into these areas.

It becomes much more difficult in arguing for significant infrastructure upgrades once areas are well established and travel patterns (often around car dependence) have been formed.

I understand that a second meeting is being planned to further assist residents in campaigning for public transport.

Thanks,

Alex

it’s a shame that the ptua has abandoned the outer suburbs we need good public transport too!
