Extra buses not going anywhere

Premier Keneally is giving the Central Coast 1500 extra bus services, with 41 new buses, and all expected to battle onto the crumbling, decaying, overloaded and very inadequate road systems.

Peninsula News (September 27) carries a claim that there will be a five-year road delay, to fix the almost impossible, currently existing situations on the local roads!

The community may be able to scramble onto these buses for a rough ride in and out of the potholes.

They have waited at a bus stop without seats or weather shelter.

If the weather has been wet, then they join others of a soggy nature, and arrive at the destination soggy, sour, and suffering.

This political fob-off of more buses is another half-baked, not thought through, visionless, non-impressive State Government indicator of a system not going anywhere, as it has done for far too long.

With another election around the corner, let us not make the same mistake twice.
