Info

Actively participate in programs that encourage rail and bus operators to coordinatebus and train time tables and improve access to timetable information. Advocate forreal time train information to be installed in Eastland Shopping Centre to enable railpatrons to better plan their time rather than waiting at the station for the next train.In conjunction with the PTUA advocate for the increase in the weekday off-peak railservices to decrease the current train headway from 30 minutes to a maximum of 15minutes.In conjunction with the Eastern Regional Integrated Transport Group developadvocacy programs to encourage the State Government to complete triple tracking ofthe rail line between Camberwell and Ringwood to improve express services forcommuters to Melbourne during peak periods.42
5.3 Bus5.3.1 Strategic OverviewBus services cater principally for those members of the community that do not haveaccess to a motor car and provide mobility for many of the most transportdisadvantaged sectors of the community including young people, the aged and peoplewith disabilities.To achieve a 20% of public transport mode share of motorised travel by 2020 willrequire major improvements to service levels, reliability, coverage and quality of thebus system. A Metropolitan Bus Plan prepared by the DOI as part of the Outer EasternPublic Transport Plan identified three key outputs:• Policies and Standards – a regulatory, contractual and standards framework toenable the bus industry to implement plans in partnership with the StateGovernment• Network and Service Planning - a service plan (and planning system)appropriate to the needs of Melbourne which will help deliver the 20% by 2020target, and• Service Delivery and Management - a bus contract management and fundingsystem, which will help in effective on-going management of service deliveryand finance.With regard to the second output, develop recommendations to the Bus Plan proposedthat the bus network be divided into premium and local services. Local services toprovide feeder connections to activity centres and Premium services. Premium servicesto provide high quality, trunk bus services and encompass the cross town bus routesdefined as part of the Principal Public Transport Network in Melbourne 2030Premium (SmartBus) Bus NetworkFigure 5.4 shows the Principal Public Transport Network (PPTN) and SmartBusRoutes recommended in the Outer Eastern Public Transport Plan (OEPTP). The greencoloured routes show the PPTN and the orange coloured routes show where the BusPlan premium network extends beyond the PPTN.As can be seen from Figure 5.4 the proposed premium bus (SmartBus) routes that passthrough Maroondah are:• Chirnside Park to Boronia along Dorset Road and via Croydon Station• Ringwood to Dandenong along Wantirna Road, Boronia Road and Stud RoadThe Bus Plan in the Outer Eastern Public Transport Plan proposed that these premiumservices are based on the following standards:• minimum 15 minute headways in all time periods (to allow integration with trainservices);• operation between 5am and midnight on weekdays and weekends;• the incorporation of ‘active’ on-road priority for these routes including activegreen phases and queue jump phases at selected junctions;• significant upgrades of bus stops and shelters, and• the provision of real time bus information display units at major stops.43
