Missing bus stop 8239 sign on New North Road
Hello everyone
Has anyone else noticed that the bus stop sign for 8239 New North Road (outside old Rocky's cafe, at intersection of Richardson Road and New North Road) has been missing for the past 2-3 weeks?
As regular user of public transport for the past 6-7 years, was waiting to catch a bus (Route 22) and noticed that the bus stop sign and the 'bus stop road marking' had suddenly disappeared.
The pole had been neatly removed and the road marking was now orange- the no parking marking!
There had been no warning/notices or any other communication from AT in the past few weeks if AT was removing or moving the bus stop.
Most bus drivers knew nothing about it. Some drivers stopped for the commuters waiting at the stop, others did not.
Some drivers knew that a bus stop existed in the system, but not sure if they should stop, as there was no bus stop sign!
Waited for a few days and called AT.
The staff there had absolutely no idea of what was happening. She said the bus stop does still exist in their system, and the drivers should be stopping there when signaled. But I kept insisting that the sign was gone, and there was no evidence left of any bus stop there!
I have laid several written complaints with AT, but no response.
On one hand AT is promoting active use of public transport, and then the bus stops go missing.
**On a similar note, last week the bus stop sign outside PaknSave (8241) New North Road, had been damaged badly and fallen to the ground. Reported this to AT as well.
The sign had now moved to the grass, with no post until yesterday!
Will be interesting to know what other public transport users out there think of this.
Thank you
