As long as no silver and green TransPerth bus wears a Bustech badge all's well.

Re: Bus Observations 2024.

Calling it an obsession doesn't make the issue go away. Is an unacceptable backwards arrangement that's a sign of lax standards in the bubble that is the Australian bus industry. That such a design saw the light of day is an insult to the customer base they were intended for. Perth are the only ligh...

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?

You have to stop letting white anglos make transport decisions and get decision makers from Germany, France, Japan, Czech Republic or Italy to take over the reigns. Watch it improve in a week.

Quite right! In the past I've watched videos on that channel of the SG192 to try and figure out how those might've sounded.
I hope no ambulance was required.

Re: Sydney Metro - Tallawong to Bankstown

London is still well ahead. To their standards 5 mins is a long wait - off peak. The longer people have to wait at a station the slower you make their average speed getting places. This is not good enough for the expenditure and how new this is and without drivers. I guess we can't make the legacy s...

Re: Sydney Metro - Tallawong to Bankstown

It's been century since electrification of Sydney's suburban network began. Now we have a driverless Metros sprouting including the conversion of one of the lines electrified 100 years ago or thereabouts in the 1920s. The 2020s is certainly not as stylish.

Re: Bus Observations 2024.

I wish there was some on the Central coast. I think theres only political impetus to have them in the Sydney metro area. We still don't know why Busways hasn't seen fit to signwrite them in their logo. A very different approach to the former STA who would make sure you know they are operating them a...

Re: Sydney Metro - Tallawong to Bankstown

There is ample opportunity for interchange at Chatswood and Barangaroo. Would you remove the crossovers at Barangaroo and install new ones at Central? I am confident there would have been an analysis and reasons behind the placement of the points where they were placed. You're confident in what Aus...

Still majority of the Element 1s at Penrith are without busways logos which seems peculiar as even the maintenance vans are covered in them
Suggests to me they are on trial and not committed to them yet.

Re: Egged Video Singing Staff.

I appreciate the background information you're able to provide and the translation! I'm figuring the staff singing in the video are lip synching their own prerecorded voice done in a recording studio. We can only dream of this level of passion and pride within any Australian organisation. Those driv...

I only watched the bit mentioned, without headphones, although the bus' more pronounced notes came through quite clearly, and what a sound that was!

Re: Sydney Metro - Tallawong to Bankstown

Not to mention the bus lanes will fulfil their purpose more when their's more traffic from no tunnel.
They think private mostly single occupant vehicles are entitled to have the buses share the burden with them at times of crisis that has nothing to do with the buses. :roll:
