Personalised trip planning

• Kevin McClain started as our part-time

transport planner

• Trip planning sessions are conducted

once a month

• Employees at member businesses

attend one-on-one sessions with Kevin

• Usually participants are interested in

trying public transport, but haven’t

found a good option … yet

• 70 participants have been matched with

public transport options and entered

into the Commuter Club

• We receive excellent feedback about

the pedestrian, bus, train and road

networks and share with City of Ryde

and TfNSW
