Canberra in five days! 21/06/10 Part 1

Post by Mr OC Benz »

As has been mentioned in the discussion section I have been in Canberra between the 21st and 25th June on a school tour. I managed to take some photos of some buses and coaches. Apologies to some of the poor quality shots which were taken from the Forest Coach Lines coach TV 1573.

First up is BUS 963 with an interesting bike attached to the rack. This not a site to see in Perth.

What makes the bike in the 1st shot so interesting? It just looks like a normal road bike...

Its only interesting to me, because we don't have any buses in Perth which have bike racks. I quite like the idea.

R U a driver or a cyclist TP3001 :?: They are about to introduce them in Tassie, and as a driver I reckon they are a pain in the a#se :!:
Just another thing to delay the services. Wheelchairs(have no problems with them) prams (parents too lazy to fold them down) AND NOW bikes :!:
No Thanks!!

Well from a drivers point of view, Yes I agree it will be a pain, from a cyclist point of view, It would be good.

From a passengers point of view in Canberra they are annoying

Yes it would be. Perhaps if they designed the inside where the wheelchair bays are to make it wide enough to fit a couple of bikes. Except wheelchairs should be first priority.
