Epping Rd demand caught us off guard: Govt

Posted Tue Mar 11, 2008 1:23pm AEDT

The New South Wales Government has admitted it was caught off guard by increased demand for public transport on Sydney's Epping Road.

Transport Minister John Watkins has announced additional bus services after just one day of peak hour traffic flowing through the new Lane Cove bus interchange.

The increased services started this morning, with enough buses to carry an additional 850 passengers.

Transport Minister John Watkins says the need for extra bus services is good news.

"It means people are trying public transport that haven't done it before," he said.

"That's good for congestion, it's good for our enviornment and it's certainly cheaper for those people who are perhaps using public transport for the first time."

Mr Watkins says demand for public transport was much higher than the Government had anticipated.

"This is probably the biggest week of the year when it comes to public transport because everyone is back at school, everyone is back at work and universities are fully prepared," he said

"We did put extra services on yesterday morning to cope with that surge, but I suppose a pleasing factor was that more people seemed to try public transport for the first time."
