The Coast needs a real night bus, not another working group
Three councils, two ministers and a decade of reviews. Meanwhile the last train still leaves Gosford at 11.47pm.

The state government's most recent night-network review — its third in eight years — recommends another twelve months of community consultation. Twelve months in which young workers will keep paying $60 for an Uber, or sleeping on a friend's couch.
We don't need another working group. We need a route map, a budget line and a driver roster. The rest is choreography.
