Liverpool. High use of car for work

The Public Transport Independent Inquiry meeting in Casula heard 62 per cent of Liverpool residents use the car to get to work - 9 per cent more than the Sydney metropolitan average - and the number is increasing rapidly. Sixty per cent of the Liverpool population daily leaves the LGA for work and a very high proportion travel to work in Western Sydney suburbs whicgh are poorly serviced by public transport. The NSW Government has shelved the $1.36 billion south-west rail link but families continue to move into new housing estates in Edmondson Park, Austral, Middleton Grange and Leppington. ''The south-west rail link isn't completely off the agenda - they're still buying land in the proposed corridor for it. But we need them to actually put down a deadline for when they are actually going to build the thing.'' Liverpool Mayor, Wendy Waller, told the Sydney Morning Herald
