BRUMBY GOVERNMENT DELIVERS MORE CAR SPACES AND BIKE CAGES FOR SEAFORD AND CHELSEA STATIONS

Commuters on the Frankston line will benefit from additional car spaces at Seaford and Chelsea stations and passengers wanting to ride their bike to connect with train services will be able to use two new bike cages.
Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky said the additional car spaces recognised the continued growth in passenger numbers on the Frankston line.

"The Brumby Government is taking action to give Victorians the best transport network in Australia and offering more car spaces and new bike cages can help commuters make more convenient connections and spend less time commuting and more time with their families," Ms Kosky said.

BIKE CAGE PROGRAM EXPANDED TO ANOTHER 10 STATIONS

Train commuters now can jump on their bike to connect with rail services following the completion of 23 new bike cages at stations across metropolitan Melbourne and key regional centres fulfilling a Brumby Government pledge to improve access for cyclists to public transport services.
Visiting the new bike cage at Newport station today, Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky announced a further 10 cages would be delivered this year.

"I am delighted that 23 cages are now finished and we have released funding for a further 10 which will by the end of the year provide space for more than 850 bikes in secure and weather protected cages," Ms Kosky said.

"The locations of the next 10 cages is being finalised as we consult with Bicycle Victoria to establish demand for the cages as well as providing a safe and suitable location for them."
