On the beaches, buses are our only form of public transport. We plan our lives around these services, so we need them to be reliable. Excellent public transport also helps reduce traffic congestion, benefiting everyone. Since the previous Coalition government privatised the buses on the Northern Beaches, service reliability has decreased. I will listen to the experiences of commuters and work with private bus operators and Transport for NSW to make sure they are consistent, frequent and comfortable.  

I will work to:

• Get more B-Line and Keoride buses on the road to reduce over-crowding and wait times.
• Hold Northern Beaches private bus operators to account, making sure they put the needs of the community first.
• Implement essential worker housing solutions on the broader Northern Beaches to help fix the bus driver shortage, the root cause of reliability issues and late notice service cancellations.
