Route 101 - Extra stop on Pine Road needed.

RAIL Back on Track requests an additional bus stop be installed near the intersection of Pine Road and Orchard Road, Richlands.
Our members have noticed more cars parking along Pine Rd around the current and only Route 101 bus stop at the western end of Pine Rd (adjacent to the soccer club).

As the Richlands railway station park and ride consistently gets parked out, it is no surprise that people are now parking further and further away from the station.

Local bus services such as the 101 route rely on walk-up patronage around each bus stop. Therefore, we feel that the lack of a stop in this area is now suppressing patronage.

Residents along Orchard Rd currently have up to a 300m walk in either direction to access the only stop on Pine Rd (which also has an uphill gradient during the walk) or the two stops along Archerfield Rd.

Very anti-public transport in our opinion. Given the excellent residential development as well as increased industrial development
happening on the opposite end of Orchard Rd, it is now time to put in a new bus stop.

We have attached a link to the street view of Orchard Rd for reference.

We hope this can be sorted as soon as possible.

Best wishes,

Robert
