Mulgrave electorate
Eden FOSTER (Mulgrave) (14:52): (1061) My constituency question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. How many public transport users have benefited from the recent changes to the route 800 bus service? Since 24 November last year the route 800 bus has been made more accessible for Victorians. The modifications include buses running every half hour during the day and every 40 minutes in the early mornings and evenings on weekends. This has resulted in 51 new services on Sundays and 37 on Saturdays. Additionally, the expanded operating hours during the week provide more travel options and better access to late-night shopping, as well as transport home for workers and students. Peter Parker, a local advocate, has emphasised the significant benefits these changes have brought to the residents of my electorate. I am proud that the Allan Labor government is diligently working to expand public transport. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Minister for Public and Active Transport and the Minister for Transport Infrastructure.
