EcoTransit is a not-for-profit, public advocacy group promoting public and active transport. Public
transport must play the most important role in making Cumberland and Western Sydney a very
liveable city that people want to live, work and play in.
EcoTransit believes what is really needed to make Cumberland a liveable, attractive city is enough
new heavy rail (Sydney Trains) or light rail links providing cross-connections with existing lines to
enable people to travel to work, school or leisure quickly, without the need to drive motor vehicles,
thus reducing congestion and pollution.
EcoTransit members include residents living and commuting regularly in the Cumberland local
government area. Our transport advocacy group has a close working relationship with the Restore
Inner West Line (Liverpool via Regents Park) and Save T3 Bankstown Line community campaigns.
We have identified the following priorities to address transport disadvantage in Cumberland:
- Supporting heavy rail (Sydney Trains Network) – page 2 to 6
- Expanding light rail – page 7 to 11
- Improving bus frequency – page 12 to 13
- Encouraging cycling and walking – page 14 to 15
- Comments about Sydney Metro – page 16 to 19
This submission to the Cumberland Transport Survey includes our proposals of a Pippita City Express,
Parramatta Road Light Rail and Parramatta to Bankstown Light Rail/
