Lions fill gap in Ellenbrook’s transport needs

The Lions Club of Ellenbrook has donated a bus to the City of Swan to help plug the holes in Ellenbrook and surrounds woeful public transport.

President Tony Turner said buying a bus came about because there is no public transport available most of the time for local residents.

“A person only needs an ordinary car licence to drive the bus. It’s a 12 seater and it’s perfect for community groups and members to get to events in other suburbs.

“We were promised a train for Ellenbrook, which now looks like it’s along way off and the bus service is inadequate. It’s basically non-existence at night.

“This gives people an alternative to taking private cars. A group can go together and it’s convenient for people.’’

Ellenbrook Lions club member Rad Dickerson said the bus could be used by any community group who was running a community initiative, and might even be a way for young people to get to special sporting events.

He said it was a community initiative to fill a need in the district.

Mr Turner said the bus would be administered by the City of Swan and the official handover help on February 20 at Woodlake.
