Timetable Update to service to Calliope, evening & weekend service for 4680 Bus Service
The issue
In our community, the 4680 Bus Service has long been a vital lifeline enabling people to commute to work, visit family, and participate in community activities. However, its current schedule, which lacks weekend and evening services, presents significant challenges to those who rely on public transportation to get around. This limitation affects hundreds, if not thousands, of us who live and work in the area, and its impact is felt keenly by students, elderly citizens, and individuals without access to private vehicles.
Countless families are unable to visit relatives living in the neighbouring suburbs over the weekend due to the inadequate bus schedule. Many workers, especially those with non-traditional work hours, struggle to maintain their jobs because they cannot rely on public transport for evening shifts. This not only hinders their economic opportunities but also impacts the businesses that depend on their diligent employees arriving on time. Furthermore, residents miss out on community events and social gatherings that are crucial for a strong social fabric.
In various comparable regions, enhancing public transport schedules has proven to boost local economies and improve overall quality of life. For example, in a study conducted by the American Public Transportation Association, cities with expanded public transport options saw a 21% increase in local businesses' revenue as accessibility improved for both patrons and employees.
Our request is simple. We urge the local transit authority to extend the 4680 Bus Service to include weekend and evening services. By doing so, they would significantly enhance the quality of life for many community members, reduce the carbon footprint by promoting public transportation, and support the economic growth of the region.
It's time for our community's needs and voices to be heard. We believe that with your support, we can make this change happen. Sign this petition to demand expanded services for the 4680 Bus Service and help build a better future for everyone in our area.
