On the weekend as I traveled towards the southern eastern suburbs - I didn't see commuters struggling to get buses. In fact bus services in the inner city and southern suburbs are quite frequent and commuters seemed relaxed and not in a complaining mood.
There is quite a difference on how transport infrastructure is structured and maintained in these areas. All commuters have to place your electronic transport tickets downs in electronic scanning machines and it sends a distinct rejection signal - which the driver can pick up - it means it is an incorrect ticket or that the ticket has expired. The problem here is if you are on a metro prepay bus -and this happens to you, you have to step off the bus and catch another bus. This is what happened yesterday morning on one bus - both bus driver advised the female commuter nicely and the commuter responded nicely.
Then there was the 'L' buses - 'Limited Bus Stops' - they speed the service of the bus service as it only stops in major bus stops to the city - my problem was I was searching for my ticket unable to find it until the bud departed from the bus stop.
These 2 types of bus services we do not have as well as at least every 5 minutes there is a bus service to city and Railway Square - buses are well patronised in the meantime, by New South Wales Government run buses. Public transport seems to be looked after by the New South Wales Government here - the comparisons to our area is that we do not have 5 minutes buses, no metro buses and no limited stop buses - are buses services are usually 15minutes or half an hour services - pick or choose!
