Shadow Minister for Transport Jodi McKay MP has today joined Mayor of Ryde Jerome Laxale, Councillor Penny Pedersen and Labor Candidate for Lane Cove - Andrew Zbik to announce that a Labor government will deliver a new public bus service for Ryde linking East Ryde, Boronia Park, Top Ryde and North Ryde station.

School children will be able to enjoy free travel on public transport under a Daley Labor State Government that is focused on putting the family budget first. 

Labor’s Fair Fares policy will forego this revenue to abolish all charges for children under 16 years of age or while they remain at school. 

I am pleased to invite you to a forum on local public transport with NSW Shadow Minister for Transport Jodi McKay MP

The details are:
- Wednesday 3rd October
- 7pm for a 7:15pm start
- Gladesville Road Community Centre, 44 Gladesville Rd, Hunters Hill

Lane Cove Councillor Andrew Zbik is calling on Minister for Planning and Housing, and Member for Lane Cove, Anthony Roberts MP, to provide the residents of Lane Cove with a long-term infrastructure plan that considers the future growth of the Lane Cove area.

NSW Shadow Minister for Transport Jodi McKay visited the Lane Cove bus interchange with Lane Cove Labor this morning to observe the bus queues local residents are forced to endure each and every day.  

This is the second time this year the Shadow Minister has visited Lane Cove to put pressure on the Liberal member for Lane Cove to address overcrowding. 

Andrew Zbik, Labor Candidate for West Ward and David Roenfeldt, Labor Candidate for Central Ward, recognise the pain and suffering experienced by public transport users in the local area.

Lane Cove Labor have been running a campaign to improve the bus service in and out of the area.

Lane Cove Labor have organised for NSW Shadow Minister for Transport Jodi McKay to visit the Lane Cove bus interchange on Thursday morning 24th August.

Who would build a house but not plan to connect it to electricity or water supplies? No one would. Why would you build 2,000 new homes and not provide extra services such as buses? This is the current situation faced by residents in Lane Cove.
