Following a successful two month trial, council is extending its Flexilink Taxi Trial into the next financial year, bridging the gap in public transport links across the Coast.
The seven Flexilink trial
services include the following routes:
*
Peachester to Beerwah
*
Conondale via Witta to Maleny
*
Glenview to Mooloolah Valley
*
Kenilworth to Mapleton
The
service has been extended these services are still operating on a trial
basis and high levels of use are still required to keep the service
going.
To
keep the service it is important that residents use the service or there
is all likely hood that it will not be continued.
The
service is meant to provides a solution to gaps in the current public
transport system. To keep the trial going and hopefully make it a
permanent service there is a need to maintain passenger numbers.
Residents
wishing to use the Flexilink service must book their trip by calling
1300 511 163.
The
services operate on a pre-booked basis and run three return trips per
day, Monday to Saturday.
Vehicles
travel along designated routes and commuters are required to meet the
taxis along the route. A single trip is $2 for adults and $1 for
children/concession.
Council
continues to welcome feedback from service users and is currently
reviewing feedback gathered so far and will use this to shape the future
operations of the Flexilink trial services.
This
initiative is funded frtom the council’s Public Transport Levy, which
was introduced to improve local public transport services,
infrastructure and patronage across the Coast.
The
council receives support from the Queensland Government and Range Taxi
Service.
