Not true Bradley. There is a seven stop internal shuttle bus at Olympic
Park. It travels an anti-clockwise circuit from stop 1 at the eastern end of
Olympic Park station, stop2 at the Dome/Pavilions, stop3 North Gate, stop 4
Super Dome, stop 5 Lidcombe Gate, stop 6 South Venues, stop 7 South gate,
back to stop 1.
Its marked in large light blue dots on the official map. It's nominally for
the mobility impaired, but they accept all comes, on a space available
basis, the mobility impaired having priority. Today (Sunday) it was operated
by a State Transit low floor, kneeling bus and was doing brisk business when
I caught it from South to North gate this evening.
