Dear Miriam,
 
The news of the weekday running of the 'Punt' is good for cycling and for the city of Hobsons Bay through reduced dependency upon polluting modes of transportation.
 
Thank you for this update.  I have passed it on to other cyclists/groups.
 
Kind regards

 Press Release

 

The Westgate Punt will be running a commuter service from Monday 9 February to Friday 13 February, to guage the possibility of bringing the commuter service back on a regular basis.

 

While the weekend and public holiday service has run for many years - and continues to run - the commuter service has been spasmodic since the commuter trial was concluded in June 2006. The commuter service then ran as a special service on Ride To Work Day in October of 2006, 2007 and 2008, attracting very high levels of patronage .

 

Over the past few weeks the punt skipper has endeavoured to run the commuter service on Fridays and Mondays, on either side of the weekend service.

 

For further details, contact Alex, the Westgate Punt skipper on 0419 999 458.

Au contraire. Far from this being good news, it is disturbing that this important service has not had a proper trial for several years. The punt operators are...

While a 'proper trial' position is correct Callum, I have been saying to the 'Punters' for those same years, that until the on-road cycling infrastructure and...
