Recent editorials and letters in the Sydney Morning Herald and elsewhere are highlighting broad local community concern about the RTA intention to remove the Epping bus ramp. Commuter buses coming from the north west travel down the dedicated bus lane on the M2 to the Epping tunnel, then leave the M2 on the bus ramp there for a dedicated road into Epping railway station so they can continue their commute into the city by rail.
The RTA plans to demolish that bus ramp, and send all buses down to Macquarie or beyond.
It occurs to me that it's the people in north west Sydney who should be up in arms about this, because it denies them the ability to commute by train. Most of them probably ignored a proposal to widen 21 Km of motorway half way from their homes to the city.
Did anyone alert them to the significance of the bus ramp removal, which Transurban now say is "a critical part of the work to establish a third lane on the motorway"?
