The “old” City of Sydney street furniture was pulled out in February this year. It’s August now, and it’s still not been replaced. I don’t know what kind of deal QMS have there, but they’re not making anything from it. And I’m constantly surprised that the SMH or the TV networks haven’t run a story about “commuters left to wait months for buses in the rain whilst advertising company tries to erect new bus shelters”. (Of course, they maybe don’t travel by bus to their $500 a month gyms.)
The lack of shelter is a really interesting point Gavin. That thought hadn’t occurred to me. I’ll take a wander around the CBD…
Cheers,
Tim
Walk down the back of QVB. Or Wynyard. Fortunately it’s looking dry this week.
