Labor bus promise

Christians Bus Company Director Campbell Christian joined MP Michaela Settle for the announcement.

Buninyong MP Michaela Settle has promised a re-elected Labor government will expand bus services in Maddingley.

MP Settle visited Maddingley on Friday, October 14, to make the announcement, where she said good public transport is important for kids, young workers, and families.

MP Settle is the Labor candidate for the new electorate of Eureka, which will replace the seat of Buninyong at the November state election.

The announcement promised extra services, and that by 2025 every new bus added to the fleet will be a zero emissions vehicle.

This is on top of the already delivered Ballarat Line Upgrade, which a Labor press release said delivered an extra 25 train services per week to an upgraded Bacchus Marsh station.

“I am so pleased that a re-elected Andrews Labor Government will make it easier for residents in Bacchus Marsh to get to where they need to go, by extending the bus service to Maddingley. Maddingley is a fast-growing community, and we are making sure that our growing regions get the infrastructure that they need,” she said.

Minister for Public Transport Ben Caroll said Labor is focused on delivering a modern, accessible, environmentally sustainable bus network.
