Frasers Property punts on Putney Hill shuttle bus service

Frasers Property are collaborating with the City of Ryde to provide a complimentary shuttle bus service exclusively for the residents of Putney Hill.

The Putney Hill Residents Shuttle Bus Service, which commenced on the 17th of August, runs between Lardelli Park and Kissing Point Wharf from Monday to Friday between 6.30 - 8.30am and 4.30 – 6.30pm each day. 

Each morning the bus will run at 15-minute intervals, arriving at Kissing Point Wharf to connect with ferries bound for Circular Quay.

In the evenings, the bus will meet each ferry offering their service for travellers coming from the CBD.

Frasers Property has invested over $100,000 to fund the free bus service.

It is designed to offer the current 550 residents at Putney Hill an alternative commute both to and from the city each day, as well as reduce road traffic and ease congestion locally during peak hours. 

City of Ryde acting group manager, Environment and Planning, Sam Cappelli says this private business arrangement with Frasers Property is fundamental to building on the Council’s strategy to address some of the traffic issues in the area. 

“The City of Ryde has a mandate to improve traffic flow in the area by encouraging residents to use public transport to commute into the city. The use of one of the Council’s community buses under this arrangement will make it simple for Putney Hill residents to catch the ferry to and from Sydney CBD each day, reducing the amount of traffic on the roads, which causes congestion and pollution,” he said.

Frasers Property Development Director Warwick Dowler said this service underlined Frasers Property’s commitment to investing in the long term well being and sustainability of the Putney Hill community.
