A new bus layover in Blacktown, Sydney, opened today, to help improve the reliability and efficiency of bus services in the area while also providing our hard-working drivers with better facilities for meal and rest breaks.
Busways worked in partnership with Transport for NSW on design and development of the $14.6 million layover, which was built under the NSW Government’s Bus Priority Infrastructure Program.
Busways welcomes the new ‘Signal for Help’ mental health program launched by BusNSW on 26 July.
The initiative promotes early intervention for better mental health in the bus industry and aims to reduce stigma around mental health, fostering a supportive work environment.
