A door-to-door bus service called Walgett Wheels is coming to the Aboriginal communities of Gingie and Namoi in April. 

The 10-seater bus will transport residents from Gingie and Namoi into Walgett located ten and two kilometres away from town respectively.

"I reckon it'll be good for everyone," Arthur Murray from Namoi said. 

"People who don't have a motor vehicle can't go anywhere." 

Residents currently have to rely on friends and family for transport.

Operator LiveBetter is also looking for a bus driver and operator to run the service. You can apply for the job here. 

State MP for Barwon, Roy Butler welcomed the service. 

"In regional areas, we just don't have the transit systems people expect on the coast or major centres," he said.

It has been over a decade since there was a taxi service from Gingie and Namoi into town.

The pre-booked bus service will run Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays between 8:30am to 2pm at a one-way charge of $2.30 for adults and $1.15 for children. 

Pensioners can use the all-day Regional Excursion Daily (RED) for $2.50 the whole day.  

"We're excited to bring this service to life and continue our mission of supporting people to live and thrive in their chosen communities," LiveBetter CEO Natalie Forsyth-Stock said. 

The service will run for a 12-month trial period under the NSW Government Transport Access Regional Partnership (TARP) program grant. 

"By investigating and investing in new potential transport options like Walgett Wheels we are opening up opportunities for the community and working to close the transport disadvantage gap," Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Jenny Aitchison said. 

Bookings for the bus can be made by calling 02 6391 2453.
