Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Public Transport Public Transport The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council Public Transport The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:28): Supplementary: the minister mentioned the Marshall government's Stephan Knoll cuts to bus services, and some have been restored. Will the minister consider restoring all of those bus services that were cut under the Marshall government just before COVID? The Hon. E.S. BOURKE Legislative Council Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Minister for Autism Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services Public Transport The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Autism) (14:29): Thank you for reminding me about those cuts. I think there were 1,200 bus services—I believe it was about that—cut or shortened under those opposite. Again, we are hearing from them that we should be doing this and this and this in public transport, but here we were seeing a government previously that was looking at cutting or shortening around 1,200 bus services. I am happy to look further into it, but I know that even just recently we have been able to expand our bus services into Riverlea. So there are growing areas in our state, there are new homes and new people going into areas and we are also putting in the supports there with an extended bus service into Riverlea.
