The public transport from Bondi Jctn to Bondi Beach is extremely poor. Whilst
there may be a very frequent bus service, they take much longer than a train
would. For example, the one time I went to Bondi Beach on a bus just over a
year ago, it took 1 hour to get there. The train would have taken 3 minutes.
That is 20 times longer. In fact, some people left their house at Bondi Jctn
and walked to the beach, and beat the bus!
