The introduction of three new bus services between Helensburgh and Bulli High School will be a “real game changer” for students, according to Heathcote MP Maryanne Stuart.
The new services will start when students return to school on Tuesday (30 April).
Helensburgh students had few transport options other than catching the train, as there was no bus service to the school. Many students faced journeys of up to 90 minutes or more one way.
Following a number of alleged assaults on students travelling on the trains, parents and the school called on the NSW Government to improve transport services for the students.
Mrs Stuart said changes to afternoon bus times to provide better connections with trains were a real game changer.
“It means students won’t be sitting around and will be able to get home much earlier,” she said.
