Urgent action to reduce bus frequency

Residents of Raglan Street, Waterloo, are pleading for urgent action to address the excessive frequency of the 392 bus service.

For six years, they have urged Transport for NSW to reduce or reroute the 200 daily buses that disrupt their once-quiet residential street. Despite repeated complaints and community impact statements, officials have ignored their concerns.

Residents criticise the dismissive response from Transport for NSW, which prioritises increasing bus services despite their suffering. The metro should serve as the main transport option, reducing the need for heavy bus traffic. The 392 route duplicates services already covered by the train and light rail, with most buses running nearly empty.

Residents demand a 50 per cent reduction in bus frequency, not the token 0.5 per cent change made in the latest timetable. They call on Minister Jo Haylen to personally intervene, as previous promises – such as introducing electric buses – have not been fulfilled.
