Dear Ms Keneally,

This is the first time I have contacted you as my MP, and I would like to first of all thank you for the hard work that you do in representing this area.

I'm writing to you about the transport infrastructure in Sydney. I feel that there are some very basic improvements that could be made that would make a real difference to the ease of travel around the city, such as posting a route map at every bus stop so that passengers can see where each bus will go. Currently, there is no such information at any bus stop I've seen, and only very limited information displayed on the front of the bus.

Secondly, I'd like to add my voice to the body of support for better cycling infrastructure. Proper cycle lanes, separated from the main body of traffic, would help people to feel safer on the roads and encourage greater cycle use, with all the secondary health and environmental benefits that would bring.

Thank you for taking my views into consideration.

Yours sincerely,





Ali Gowland
