Local commuters in Melbourne’s west are being asked to give feedback on improving one of its busiest local bus routes.

The 408 Bus currently operates between St Albans Station and Highpoint Shopping Centre, via Sunshine Station, connecting locals in St Albans, St Albans East, St Albans South, Sunshine North Sunshine, Braybrook, West Footscray, Maidstone and Maribyrnong to the busiest shopping centre in Melbourne’s west.

State Member for St Albans the Hon. Natalie Suleyman, State Member for Laverton Sarah Connolly, and State Member for Footscray Katie Hall, are calling for locals in the St Albans, Laverton and Footscray Electorates to have their say on increasing service frequency on the 408 Bus Route.

Commuters can have their say by completing the survey: https://forms.gle/RmshvqP1w4pDMsESA

The details of this survey will be shared with the Minister for Public and Active Transport to help coordinate better bus frequencies for the 408, including during peak hour periods and on weekends.
