Brisbane Bus Reform: New Bus Network Survey Now Open!

RAIL Back On Track (http://backontrack.org) a web based community support group for rail and public transport and an advocate for public transport passengers has opened its bus reform survey.

Robert Dow, Spokesman for RAIL Back On Track said:

"Following the successful launch of our integrated bus network reform proposal (1,2), we are asking the public for their thoughts, ideas and feedback. Unlike previous government consultations, our consultation puts no restriction on what route(s) may be commented on and we show the entire bus network, not just isolated routes."

"The public can also zoom into their suburb, their house, their workplace and see the strength and weakness of the Brisbane City Council bus network both currently and what it would be like under our proposed bus reform."

As at November 8th, the current breakdown of responses is:

Brisbane Southside (the area with 100 series routes)   23%
Brisbane East (the area with 200 series routes)      15%
Brisbane Northside (the area with 300 series routes)   35%
Brisbane West (the area with 400 series routes)      19%
Buses in my area are not BCC buses      8%

"If you want more bus services to your area, you must take our survey! ----> http://tiny.cc/busreform

"We have also prepared a banner for sharing across facebook and #BusReform for use on twitter as well."
