Bus timetable not going well

I am feed up with the new timetable.

I live around Gungahlin and I work in Barton. I now arrive at work 15 minutes later in the morning and have to sprint to my bus in the afternoon as the timetables do not match.

Have written letters to ACTION, Transport Minisiter and local members.

One of the reason I moved to Canberra is that the Public Transport was promoted as being great and cheap – what a load of crap now.

They say to be green and not use your cars, well the people in Gungahlin that don’t work in Civic are going to have to.

ah the pluses of buses.

there so flexible.

ecxcept that when you put lightrail in, and a business moves to be near it – the route isnt usually changed on a whim.

i just love the sustainable transport plan.

Still, at least Hargreaves’ statement on the matter will go down in political history as one of the greatest pieces of spin ever:

With fewer buses running, the timetable is now easier for everyone to remember (paraphrased). Brilliant.

Not only school kids. I chose my office space in Mitchell because it was close to a bus route, and a good deal of my clients travel by bus (as well as a few of my employees) and now, today, I’ve discovered that they’ve cancelled buses down Hoskins St except in peak hour. Most people visit my business between 10am-4pm. The nearest bus in off-peak only goes down Flemington Rd – a bloody long way to walk from where I am.

Thanks for nothing ACTION/Stanhopeless ya pack of bastards.
