A Vision for Better Public Transport

Lydia travels to the city several times a week for work and study, and is often frustrated by poor and  unreliable public transport.

That’s why, if elected, Lydia will campaign for:

• An expanded Doncaster Park and Ride, so that more residents can catch the bus
• An extension of the No. 48 Tram all the way up Doncaster Rd to Westfield Shopping Centre
• An extension of the No. 72 Tram down Burke Rd to meet up with the No. 48 Tram on Doncaster Rd
• Increased bus services from Camberwell, Surrey Hills and Canterbury stations to areas with no train stations, such as East Kew and North Balwyn.

Lydia believes that all residents of Boroondara deserve access to excellent quality public transport, especially with high petrol prices. Lydia also understands that better public transport means that fewer people will need to drive, reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions.
