455 - EXPANSION OF PARK AND RIDE SHUTTLE BUS SERVICES

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport and Roads

Considering the popularity of park and ride shuttle bus services in the Wallsend area, has the Department undertaken feasibility studies regarding the expansion of park and ride facilities?

 
Answer -

I am advised:

Government funding for the Park and Ride service was linked to alleviating the impact of light rail construction in the city centre and it was only ever designed to be temporary.

Light rail services are now up and running, completing Newcastle Transport's multimodal service offering.

Park and Ride users represent only around 1% of bus customers in the Newcastle Transport area.

Current timetabled bus routes servicing the city have capacity to carry existing park and ride users. Alternatively, customers may choose to park their car close to any frequent bus route to complete their journey into the city. Newcastle Transport's new bus network offers four frequent routes that run every 15 minutes and eight services that run every 30 minutes on weekdays.
