BUILDING upwards is said to solve our residential woes, so it was only time before we saw it on our roads.

Double-decker buses will soon be spotted along the popular M92 and T80 bus routes, connecting commuters from Parramatta via Auburn to Sutherland and to Liverpool.

Apart from offering a little taste of London, the capacity of the buses will increase – 100 passengers across both decks as opposed to just 65 in the single.

The new fleet of up to 50 double-deckers will replace the “bendy buses” and is hoped to ease congestion along some of the west’s busiest arterials.

“The new double-decker buses will provide increased capacity and improved efficiency to current bus services while helping to improve local traffic conditions,” Transport for NSW innovation, research and reform acting executive director Dimi Rigas said.

Six will be introduced on the T80 line – taking passengers from Parramatta along the T-way through Merrylands and Wetherill Park to Liverpool, and another six on the M92 route from Parramatta, past Rosehill and Bankstown and on to Sutherland.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the Government would spend $1.5 billion to purchase more than 170 buses under this year’s NSW budget and that the futuristic designs had already been introduced on the northern beaches.

The west could see them as soon as next month.
