You are thinking of the STA Transit Shops. The current booths are operated by TfNSW and cover all transport modes. Think transportnsw.info with live people.
The booth at Central is located on the Grand Concourse.

Re: Jan 2021 bus changes - STA region 7
All the original State Transit Metrobuses routes (m10, m20, m30, m40, m50)) finished at around 8pm. I don't know why, but it was a big point against it, along with withholding the timetables from the public because "you don't need it, its turn up and go". As far as I remember, the real-time transpo...

Re: Opal Discussion and Observations
I'd say it is for people to work in the Transport Info booths at central to CQ. I think they do "sell" Opal cards there.
They are well versed in telling people to "look it up on your phone".

Re: Sourcing More Information B001-2002 TRANSITSHOP
They are Chinese made, branded "Carven", just a generic model based loosely on a UK Dennis Dart, maybe a Optare body.

Re: Parramatta Road Bus Fire
That is the way I imagined it would work. similar to leasing a car - the finance company owns it, but you are responsible for all the operating costs.

Re: Parramatta Road Bus Fire
Insurance of Government assets is normally handled through its self-insurance arm, the Treasury Managed Fund.
As the buses are being used by third parties, the operators may be required to have independent cover over and above this.

Re: Parramatta Road Bus Fire
The bus would have at least two extinguishers (one in the cab and one at the rear) . But they are small, and not much use if the fire is within the frame somewhere- it can be well advanced before it becomes noticeable inside.

Re: GLEBE POINT RD BUS FIRE.
Driver interviewed on one of the TV news, said smoke started coming out of dashboard.
Just 3 people on the bus, so big "save". At least driver did the right thing and evacuated the bus early.

Re: Sydney Metro - Tallawong to Bankstown
The is a lot of underdeveloped space in the CBD and immediate surrounds.
Expansion is not going to end anytime soon.
Barangaroo, Eveleigh, are filling up fast, and soon Pyrmont,
If the government was serious about decentralisation, it should not have allowed these.

Re: Sydney commuters gain 1200 more bus, light rail and ferry services for summer
As most passengers don't look past the "314" part, I imagine a lot are peeved off when the bus terminates at Randwick and they have change. Probably, but at least with Opal it won't cost them any more and their journey time won't be any longer than if they had remained at Coogee for the through ser...

Re: Sydney commuters gain 1200 more bus, light rail and ferry services for summer
On weekends there are a large number of shortworking 314s between Coogee Beach and Randwick Junction. There is a service every 15 minutes between these two points now, which is a large upgrade compared to the old hourly Sunday frequency. There are plenty of 372/373 services between these two points...

Re: NSW Railway Observations 2021
I've been up there a few times last year, but this was the first time I've seen it actually working. Maybe they turn it off at weekends, which is when I've been there?

I don't know how long it has been there, but in the escalator atrium between Wynyard Walk and Clarence St, there is a massive video wall with CGI simulations of Wynyard station featuring trams, single deck trains and Waratahs. Very cleverly done, well worth a visit. Takes about 3 minutes to cycle th...

It would be the Wilson/SCG Epicyclic with CAV Mono-Control.
Same arrangement fitted to AEC Swifts and some Hinos.

Directive from TfNSW.
Looks like they are now balancing fleet age across all regions, not just within a region.

So if two people wearing masks are in close contact there would be 91% combined effectiveness.
