Re: CBD & South East Light Rail
Considering how packed these services are these days at UNSW, how can they ensure social distancing is possible? If social distancing is not possible, if one person has Coronavirus, then it will risk the entire NSW into Stage 4 lockdown, especially when we are facing the more contagious UK strain. I...

Re: Extra Covid 19 services
The face mask mandate only applies to Central Coast, Blue Mountains and Wollongong areas. So I wonder from which station on the South Coast Line and Central Coast and Newcastle Line will this mask mandate does not apply, as they would have been outside of Central Coast (i.e. in Hunter) and in South ...

Re: CBD & South East Light Rail
Caught the tram to and from Randwick and wow, this thing was absolutely packed. With, you guessed, UNSW students. The travel time was also commendable. 17 minutes from Central to Randwick. I wouldn’t agree with Mayor Laxale’s very recent comment of “the slowest tram in the world” - its actually via...

Re: December Bus Changes - Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore
I wonder whether STA and TSA can investigate whether they can update their rear desto font on newer buses, so that when the bus is running an express service, like 180X or 461X, the font of the bus route can fill the desto better? I believe Hillsbus has done a good job on 610X etc, and other bus ope...

Re: The death of Metrobus.
The death of metrobus is simply an act of bastardry by the current NSW government. Yet Metrobus is also a political stunt caused by the previous Labor government due to their mismanagement of bus services across Sydney. If the current government can come out with solution that maintains the service...

Re: Private Bus Observations 2021
It seems Transit Systems has printed and delivered some branded face masks yo its drivers.
I hope I can get one if they do decide to give away as a merchandise.

Re: STA Observations 2021
Perhaps this should be the last STA Observations thread as STA is due to be privatised by the end of the year?
Perhaps we should discuss what observations thread is required for buses going forward.

Re: Opal Discussion and Observations
I wonder do contact tracers have access to Opal Card checking so that they can understand what time patients went on a particular train/bus whilst infectous?
What if someone commits fare evasion? How can they trace in this regard?

This shows once again that the Liberal government is bullying Eastwood re...

Both lines have been fully closed this week for trackwork from 19:30. I watched the tail off of service last night and there was a lot of strange empty running, like multiple sets departing the city empty after the buses had begun and even empty sets arriving Central from the east to shunt. I could...

Re: New Intercity Fleet Purchases/Observation
I wonder whether the new intercity fleet will be able to travel beyond 115km/h? With Northconnex, Westconnex and M6 Motorway, intercity trains will become much less attractive as it is much faster to drive than catching the train. If our train is not speeding up, then in the long term we are going t...

I also observed there are some double up of 438X and 461X, possibly due to Covid or traffic. I wonder how the Vict...

Re: 20 YEARS SINCE THE OPENING OF THE SYDNEY OLYMPICS
20 years before, everyone flock to Sydney to see the Olympics.
20 years after, no one can leave Sydney at all due to travel ban.
I hope COVID can end soon so that we can watch Olympics live again.

I hope M6 will commence constructions soon and once it is complete, going to Wollongong from Sydney by car will be a lot faster than train. Currently Wollongong to Central is 70 minutes by car, potentially can cut to 50 - 55 minutes, which makes living in Wollongong a lot more attractive than in Wes...
