True Aaron! I guess I was thinking bus just from WL Station to City and hadn't considered that it would travel around the estate picking up first. It wouls be great if the bus routes could be extended into the reaidential area, to my knowledge no busses stop anywhere near the houses (Except maybe near the Childcare Centre? Not sure as I don't go there.)? If stops are close to homes then it will reduce the amount of people parking at the station (Yes, I am totally guilty of that despite living 1.8km from WL station!). Liking thr bus idea more and more now!

Public Transport Victoria is introducing more bus services in our area. They are conducting some information sessions, for more details see: http://www.wl3027.com/event/mon-01092014-1500/new-better-bus-network-pro...
car parking needs to be addressed, the current size of the WL carpark is useless
They are collecting community feedbacks on Monday, 1 September 2014, 3pm – 7pm at the station concourse.
