5914 - PUBLIC TRANSPORT CAPACITY

Hoenig, Ron to the Minister for Transport, and Minister for the Hunter

What increases will be made to public transport capacity to ensure residents can get on a train at Erskineville, given that Sydney Trains reporting data indicates that train loads at Erskineville reach 161% capacity during the morning peak, and considering the former Minister for Planning and Infrastructure's media release on 28 March 2012 which stated that he would work with the Minister for Transport to increase public transport capacity as new residents moved into the Ashmore Precinct Development?
Answer -

I am advised:

In October 2013, additional peak period rail services were introduced on the Bankstown Line to provide more capacity for customers. As a result, peak hour loading on trains departing Erskineville has significantly improved. Increases to weekday and weekend frequency and hours of operation were introduced on bus Route 308 between Marrickville Metro and Sydney CBD.
