Re: SOT - Solution to Westbus Problem?

[Adam Hayhurst <Adam_Hayhurst@rta.nsw.gov.au>]

I read with interest that you suggest that bus services should only be
feeder services to railway stations.It is well known that commuters
dislike changing modes of transport . In 1979 when the ESR opened the
majority of 324 325 buses from watsons Bay To the Quay terminated at
Edgecliffe interchange and passengers expected to change for a train to
the city. In less than a month the patronage on the 324 & 325 dropped by
30%. Nothing has changed commuters like to stay on 1 mode of tansport
for the entire journey.....Hence the 324 & 325 operates direct to the
Quay and Edgecliffe Interchange has become an empty space not even
staffed by an Inspector any longer and the only residents being pigeons.
