Roam Zone Service

In reply to Mr SPEIRS (Bright) (13 April 2017).

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development): I have been provided with the following advice:

1. Roam Zone drivers will drop passengers as close as practical to the door, where street conditions will allow.

2. Bus drivers are instructed to drop passengers as close to their door as practical between 7pm and last service. There are a number of limitations which can impact the driver's ability to meet every passenger demand, as a number of streets surrounding the 683 route are narrow, winding, dead-end streets which limit the vehicles ability to safely turn around. In addition, there is also one crossing point between the western and eastern side of the train line (Grand Central Avenue) which can also be a limiting factor in regards to flexibility of the Roam Zone.
