Ok, a bus lane makes sense because there have been complaints about buses being really late during the peak hour periods being stuck in traffic. But a dedicated 24 hour 7 days a week bus lane?

I wonder how the government can justify spending all the money “upgrading” Epping Road and building the LCT so that they can make the situation worse than it originally was. I’d like to see some numbers about the average travelling time to get from, say, Lane Cove Road, to Gore Hill Fwy, and the throughput in terms of number of commuters entering Gore Hill Fwy per hour.

Since the narrowing of Epping road to one it’s a real disaster… The Tunnel can’t even handle the traffic load…

The aim of the tunnel should be to help motorists and give them an alternative… whats the point of creating extra traffic gridlocks to force people into a tunnel that can’t handle the load!

Yeah, I used to do that and turn right at Sony back onto Waterloo Road. I just found that those extra set of lights near Macq uni and Macq centre often mean I’m doing no better than taking Epping Road.

Maybe I’ll give it a go again this week and see if it’s improved…

Have you ever tried turning left at Epping Boys and going down Talavera Rd? That’s the way I take if I have to drive to my workplace at Chatswood.

As for going via Ryde, I have a workmate who comes from Ryde, and she says that the traffic on Lane Cove Road is always atrocious. The alternative is to go through to Wicks Road, and that too is atrocious in the morning.

Looks like Epping Road is still the fastest route…

2. According to an article in the Australian Financial Review last week, Optus originally considered Sydney Olympic Park, but then rejected it. Commonwealth Bank is now moving there.

3. It will probably a matter of time before Macquarie Centre introduces parking fees, like Westfield everywhere.
