Images of Canberra - the bus safe rap

Ari, don’t joke: knowing Stanhope, that’ll be the next hare-brained scheme he’ll come up with!

They may have to set up a roohab centre to wean them off it.

Nah, Thumper, it’s actually a new party drug.

They’ve been using roos to deliver it around Canberra and a few have hooked into the stash too heavily.

KaneO,

I don’t think even that can regain your honour after listen to paris hilton.

Maybe Bonfire can write us a light rail rap?

I think they put lime on the roo to make it decompose quicker.
Also, I want to know who took the ‘c’ out of ‘rap’…

Why doesn’t Canberra have light-rail yet?

On a completely unrelated note, Paris Hilton has launched an album. If i ever hear it, I may commit sepukku.
I’ll take the bus rap over that any day.
This has been up nearly 4 1/2 hours and no-one has sqwawked about a monorail. Well done, I’m proud of you all.

And who put the icing sugar (or whatever that strange white powder is) on the dead ‘roo on Yamba Drive?

Ahhh,

Talk about wasting money –

I *wish* that I purchased about 100 books of 10 tickets when they were made of the plasticised paper product (remember, after they got rid of normal paper).

Those little tickets didn’t have an expiry date, and cost about $0.08 each.

Wow, bus travel for diddly squat, and you get to piss the driver off by tendering a ticket that the system isn’t expecting, but has to accept.

Wo Hoo!

Yes, I remember this, it was a promo made by ACTION to encourage safe travelling on the buses to school kids. They used Neighbours stars in the video, like the kids that played “Toby Mangel” and “Katie Landers”. The “Bus Safe Rap” encouraged kids to sit down when the bus was moving and to give up your seats to adults. Each school kid got a ACTION show bag, that came with rulers and a cardboard model of an ACTION bus. I remember cos I was about 10 years old at the time.

Ah, JB, never let a small nostalgia piece rest without twisting the knife…

The exhibition is of paraphenalia relating to Action Buses from the 80 years they’ve been running. So, oddly enough, it features some faintly embarrasing material from earlier eras, including the bloke from Sherbert’s rap thing. So if they are wasting money, I’d guess they were wasting it back in the 80’s or so.
