IPART is investigating how fares should best be set for services in Western and Far Western NSW, how these fares and the costs of providing them relate to metropolitan services, and how services might be improved to better meet passenger demands.
IPART chairman Dr Peter Boxall said around 138 different operators provided bus services.
“Most trips in regional and rural NSW are made by private vehicles, but buses and other forms of public transport provide a valuable service for those unable to drive or without access to a vehicle,” Dr Boxall said.
Interested parties including residents, community groups and transport providers have until June 29 to make submissions.
An online survey is available at www.ipart.nsw.gov.au/Home/Rural-Regional-Bus-Survey.
