Stuck on a bus in peak hour doing the Westgate Crawl. Seriously why do people drive in peak hour? Is it really worth it?
I hear what you are saying but even so, I still think a lot of cars on the road really don't need to be there and they could have taken PT especially if it was just into the city and back.
I think there were heaps of accidents this afternoon.
Maps was telling me 1hr30 by the westgate and 1hr10 through essendon. Ended up taking me 1hr 30 through essendon anyway. Can't imagine how much worse the westgate would of been
Monday it only took 1 hr.
I've been driving due to bus replacements and I imagine heaps of people are too. School holiday peaks are usually pretty good otherwise.
Between the drive to the station, train, bus replacement and then final train/walk it would of taken me over 2 hours otherwise.
Is this a replacement bus? The shutting down of various train lines in the west will be adding to the traffic woes. I believe Dynon Road is closed too, another way to cross the river.
Yep Dynon road closed until approximately 31 August
Nah a regular bus this one.
Yep all train lines including V are buses much of the time. Dynon & Dryburg is out and we only just got Foots Rd back.
