The 262 Bus should service the communities between Lions Bay and Caulfield, not the passenger-less highway above.
The 262 bus currently moves between Horseshoe Bay and Caulfield Village via Highway 1, completely bypassing the Gleneagles, Eagle-Ridge, Eagle Island and Eagle Harbour communities totalling over 3500 residents. There is a need for kids attending Rockridge Secondary school to have transit available in the morning and afternoons alongside residents who do not drive or who choose not to drive. The 262 Bus services zero bus stops between Horseshoe Bay and Caulfield Village bypassing the vibrant communities along Marine Drive. It would be a quick way to reduce pollution, tame the pickup/drop off nightmare and promote a more sustainable, healthy transportation culture with a simple adjustment to the existing route/schedule of the 262 Bus.
Let’s end the pick up/drop off nightmare, promote independent teens, cleaner air and lower stress levels.
