Transport information stall goes down bus route

30 October 2017

Tweed City stall just the ticket for transport information

Bus safety will be a focus of the next Transport Information Day to be held at Tweed City Shopping Centre on Thursday 2 November.

Bus Safety Week in NSW runs from 5 to 11 November. Run by the NSW Centre for Road Safety, the week is used to promote greater safety for bus passengers and other road users and is a key part of the centre’s Be Bus Aware campaign.

“Our Tweed City stall will be getting on board a little earlier to share important information about being safer on and around public buses,” stall organiser and Council Road Safety Officer Alana Brooks said.

“We will also have information on bus routes, new bus services, public transport concessions and online guides to help plan and book public transport journeys.”

Representatives from Surfside Buslines, Community Transport and Tweed Taxis will be there to provide information on their services.

The Transport Information Day stalls are an initiative of the Tweed Public and Active Transport Group, which comprises representatives of Social Futures, Tweed Shire Council and local transport providers.

This Thursday’s stall, to be located next to the Coles Supermarket from 9am to 2pm, will also provide advice and tips on road safety, cycle and walking paths and public transport accessibility.
