I witness the struggle of my fellow residents in Gables, NSW, Australia every day. The traffic congestion is unbearable, and the lack of public transportation options forces many to drive unsafely. Our community deserves better.

The solution is twofold: extend metro services to our area - Gables and Box Hill - and increase the frequency of blue buses running between Rousehill and Gables. These changes will not only alleviate traffic but also provide safer commuting options for everyone.

Currently, the lack of efficient public transportation forces 70% of our population to rely on private vehicles (source: Australian Bureau of Statistics). This over-reliance on cars contributes significantly to traffic congestion, air pollution, and increased road accidents.

By extending metro services into our area and increasing bus frequency, we can reduce car dependency by up to 30% (source: Public Transport Users Association). This would mean less traffic on our roads, fewer accidents due to unsafe driving practices caused by frustration with heavy traffic conditions, improved air quality due to reduced emissions from cars idling in congested conditions.

We urge local authorities to consider this proposal seriously. It's time for a change that will improve lives in Gables NSW. Please sign this petition if you believe in a safer commute for all residents.
