The Hunter to have their say on local bus services

25 July 2023

Bus passengers in the Hunter region will have the chance to speak with the NSW Government on what they want from their bus services on Friday July 28.  

As part of the Minns Labor Government’s Bus Industry Taskforce, the face-to-face forum will provide a much-needed opportunity for passengers and their representatives to have their say.   

The Government will host the forum later this week and invites members of the public and representatives from community groups, local businesses and non-government organisations to come and provide their feedback and ideas.  

This session will include small group discussions around participants’ areas of interest, such as the frequency, reliability or route of their local bus services, bus stop infrastructure, or how they get information about their service.  

Everyone is welcome to drop into the session below but if you can’t make it on the day, you can let the Bus Industry Taskforce know about what is important to you at any time by visiting: https://www.nsw.gov.au/have-your-say/bus-industry-taskforce
