It is now over 3 years since Victoria's Bus Plan was released, and still, the Western suburbs of Melbourne are being left behind when it comes to public transport! 

Each year as the budget has rolled around, we have been left disappointed by the government's lack of willingness to commit substantial funding for bus reform. 

This year, there is a real opportunity for change...

With a new Minister for Public Transport, two former Transport Ministers as our Premier and Deputy Premier, Lots of attention on buses in the media, a groundswell of support from the community, and several new reports being published that demonstrate the viability of bus reform as the number one solution to transforming our transport system - it is clear that NOW is the time for bus reform! 

A piecemeal approach will no longer do. We want to see genuine commitment to a transformation of our bus network from the long, winding, convoluted routes, serviced by polluting diesel buses, to a fast, frequent, and connected grid, serviced by clean, electric buses!
