Dear Council, please advocate to state government for more public transport so young people can access tertiary education.
Travelling from Mullumbimby to Wollongbar TAFE takes a minimum of two hours on three buses.
That’s a 6am start and 8pm return. If your classes match the bus timetable.
Not much incentive to study or stay in the area.
Could say pathetic, could say fixable, could say it repeatedly, as I am sure this has been pointed out innumerable times before.
We need better public transport.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
