I've noticed that the timetables for the proposed new routes (due to start on Sept 28) have been removed from the Civic and Woden Interchanges (haven't visited the others recently). However, two days ago I noticed that roadwork on Athllon Drive (for one of the new Intertown stops) was continuing. The new timetables are not perfect (eg 75, 90, 105 or 120 min headways on Sundays and evenings on some routes), but they are an improvement over what we have now in many respects. As an attempt to reverse the patronage falls/service reductions over the last several years, it would be a pity if the new routes/timetables aren't given a chance to work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Parker parkerp@pcug.org.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- URL: http://www.pcug.org.au/~parkerp/ Proudly hosting the following web pages: * Novice Notes Online * Australian QRP Home Page * Amateur Radio Ideas Page * Peter Parker's Projects Page * ACT Sustainable Transport Working Group Home Page ---------------------------------------------------------------------
