I noticed recently that a majority of the new bus time tables - don't actually have the bus time tables on one side of the sign. They seem to notify us of when the first and last bus is but not the bus services in between. That leaves bus commuters guessing as to when the next bus services are after the first bus service has departed.
What a brilliant idea, wasn't their consultant with our local NSW State Member for Mount Druitt, Councillor Edmond Atalla, first, so he could have reviewed the sign and most likely pick this up as well. Actually NSW Transport does bypass local State Members as they have approval from the NSW Minister of Transports and Roads (which covers a majority of NSW State Members).
Our suggest is to place every bus service time table on the one side of the sign. Admittedly, The other side of the sign has it but if the commuter reads this sign and walks away frustrated, that leaves upset commuters. NSW Transport must ensure that all commuters are well informed of bus services, on all signs, even if it is two-sided.We hope that through this post, our NSW Member for Mount Druitt, will take this on with the NSW Government inclusive of NSW Transport, for improved bus time table displays on all sides of signs at Mount Druitt Bus Interchange. They should be fully detailed.
This is a proper bus time table display for commuters:
