Voices of the West
Welcome to episode four where we did things a little differently.
Afia, Prisha, and Xavier went out into the bus interchanges of Werribee, Newport, Footscray, and Sunshine to chat to fellow Westies about their experiences using the current bus network.
We are extremely grateful to the many Westies we spoke to for this episode.
