302

Post by Lemon »

Yesterday I got some pictures of 302 around the place and here they are. There are more of other buses but the were a bit fuzzy because of lighting issues.

It's that poem off 700 on 302

The Poetry in ACTION is a rather interesting idea and I wonder whereabouts inside of 302 is this poem advertised so the passengers can see it? :P

It would be on the Air Con ducts, where all the other adverts are placed. Normally one or two at the front, and one or two at the rear. The poetry in ACTION is a good idea, when the poems are actually good. You read the first line and you're so embaressed by it, you don't want to read the rest.

Hey Zac, a tip for your pics. In the first pic, it probably would've been better to get a nearside pic, and probably asked the driver to stop back a bit. That way the lighting would've been pretty much spot on.

They would look 10 times better without the Bike Racks.

I agree, the bike rack does disfigure the look of the bus.

If Canberra didn't have such a large cycling network then it would not be necessary to install these bike racks on ACTION buses . :twisted:

It's not really cyclists it's mainly bogans getting free rides. That will all change soon as cyclists will have to pay :P
