Only intra-Olympic Park shuttle bus for spectators is for archery
spectators. The archery centre is way up north, and for ORTA routes that
terminate at South Gate, it's something like a 70 minute walk from South
Gate to the archery centre. Apart from that, there is no internal spectator
shuttle.

Better to have a route (whether a highway route number, bus route number,
etc.) oversigned than undersigned. Anyone who has ever tried to follow a
typical State highway route (or even some Metroads and National Routes) in
NSW would understand this. STA bus route numbers are also a little rusty and
antiquated (but it's better than private bus operators, who basically tell
their new drivers to go out there and follow the route the best they can
using crapola maps in the timetable - screw signage!)
