Kororoit electorate

Luba GRIGOROVITCH (Kororoit) (14:52): (889) My question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport. Minister, as we discussed when you visited the electorate, residents of the growing suburb of Aintree have raised with me the challenges they face when accessing public transport. Currently Aintree residents are serviced by bus route 444 every 40 minutes, and this increases to 20 minutes during peak times. This bus route does a loop around the beautiful suburb of Aintree to collect residents wanting to go to Rockbank station. However, residents have expressed that this service is well utilised and is often at capacity. My community are avid users of public transport, and they want to ensure that we continue to improve our public transport network as the community continues to grow. Can the minister investigate opportunities to increase the capacity and access to public transport for the residents of Aintree?
