In many places now passengers make comments about a perceived oversupply of announcements at stations, which often seem to be nonstop. This Bob Wilson photograph at Ashfield in Sydney was taken on 19 February 2015 and an observer can easily spot a large number of PA speakers under the awning. The bus interchange in Christchurch, seen in this Bob Wilson photograph from 15 April 2016, has, because of the way it operates, to tell passengers which door to use for a particular service just before it arrives. Passengers can wait in a comfortable waiting area until the bus is ready to board. 260 TRANSIT AUSTRALIA 9/17 Announcements on trams Ian Manning In line with their peers overseas, and in a bid to improve the passenger minority of passengers (those who are both uncertain about where they experience, Australian public transport operators have lately invested are to alight and cannot see the visual display) must be offset against heavily in automated in-vehicle information systems.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Cumberland City Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living and working in the Cumberland Local Government Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS Cumberland City Council would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who participated in this research. This report would not have been possible without your time and willingness to share your stories and experiences. Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents findings from research into key transport and mobility challenges for the Cumberland community. This research was conducted between August 2019 and April 2020 and is grounded in empirical data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Transport for NSW, amongst other sources, and extensive community engagement. Quality transport options are fundamental to accessing many essential services, education, employment and social and recreational activities. Although three train lines run through the Cumberland LGA, in addition to the T80 high frequency bus route, many Cumberland residents still have difficulties getting around. Major barriers raised by the community relate to reliability, frequency and coverage of services.
