Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:40): (203) My question is to the Minister for Public Transport. Minister, how many passengers have used the Tarneit North FlexiRide service since its beginning? The FlexiRide system has become a staple form of public transport into Tarneit North. With the suburb growing and more residents moving in every month, the service has become vital for my community. The FlexiRide service is a bus service that allows passengers to book a trip from anywhere within the service area to or from the Tarneit station, Tarneit Central shopping centre, Tarneit Senior College, Tarneit P–9 College, Baden Powell P–9 college and Truganina P–9 College. This service is available through a smartphone app or by calling the operator. Passengers can get real-time information about their service so that they know when their service is arriving. This service has helped increase the mobility of people in Tarneit, helping them access critical employment, education, health care and services. I thank the minister for answering this question so I can share it with my community.
