The issue

I’ve always cherished the breathtaking coastal beauty that Sydney offers, particularly our stunning beaches. From Bronte to Bondi, the golden sands and shimmering waters provide a getaway unlike any other, drawing visitors from every corner of the country and even the globe. Yet, as a resident and frequent visitor, I've become keenly aware of a growing issue that not only disrupts the tranquility of these visits but also impacts our environment—lack of sufficient public transport.

The 362 bus route is a central lifeline connecting these beautiful beaches. On weekends, those of us who choose public transport over the hassle of driving and the often impossible hunt for parking are faced with another challenge—overcrowded buses and infrequent services. As the number of beachgoers swells, so too does the struggle to secure a spot on these buses. It’s frustrating and unnecessary when a solution seems so within reach.

By increasing the frequency of the 362 bus route, especially on weekends, we not only ensure convenience for the hundreds of residents and tourists alike but also take an effective step towards reducing road congestion and pollution. Fewer cars mean cleaner air and less wear and tear on our streets, preserving the very essence of what makes our beaches so special.

Statistics from the New South Wales Government Transport department show that Sydney’s public bus network saw over 180 million passenger journeys annually. This demonstrates a robust demand for public transport, particularly along popular routes such as this coastal one. Furthermore, studies indicate that better bus frequency significantly encourages the use of public transport, reducing the dependency on private vehicles by an estimated 20%.

Our goal is achievable if concerned citizens like you and me join forces to advocate for a more efficient and sustainable transport solution. With your support, we can lobby our local transport authorities to provide more regular 362 bus services. This change won’t just serve immediate needs—it will foster lasting positive impacts on our community and environment.

Join me in making our beautiful beaches more accessible without the stress of overcrowded buses or fighting for a parking spot. Time to prioritize sustainable transport in Sydney along our cherished coastlines. Please sign the petition to increase the frequency of the 362 bus service along Sydney’s beaches!
