Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (12:53): (1368) My constituency question is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport and relates to the bus route S4566 from Manor Lakes to MacKillop College. The question I have for the minister is: can she inform my constituents how the recent amalgamation of three bus routes into one benefits the school community? I recently received correspondence from my constituent Shane, who lives in Werribee. His son catches this service to MacKillop daily; however, he has been left stranded two days in the past week due to overcapacity of the bus before it reaches his stop. My constituent has raised this issue directly with PTV – Public Transport Victoria – and his wife has also made a representation directly to the minister and is patiently waiting for a response. As I am sure the minister would appreciate, this causes significant concern for Shane and his family about the safety and welfare of their son.
