To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland. The Petition of Electors of the Division of Townsville draws to the attention of the House the difficulties experienced by residents of Railway Estate, South Townsville, Garbutt and adjoining suburbs with respect to lack of frequency and timetabling of bus services and that this applies particularly to weekend services and specifically to Sunday services where on Sundays there is no service at all.

Your Petitioners therefore request the House to investigate and assist in the introduction of a more regular and consistent schedule of bus services for the said areas with particular emphasis upon weekend services and specifically the introduction of Sunday services.
