Maybe even more popular if your were interested in transport seriously.

Epping Rd demand caught us off guard: Govt

Posted Tue Mar 11, 2008 1:23pm AEDT

The New South Wales Government has admitted it was caught off guard by increased demand for public transport on Sydney's Epping Road.

Transport Minister John Watkins has announced additional bus services after just one day of peak hour traffic flowing through the new Lane Cove bus interchange.

The increased services started this morning, with enough buses to carry an additional 850 passengers.

Transport Minister John Watkins says the need for extra bus services is good news.

"It means people are trying public transport that haven't done it before," he said.

"That's good for congestion, it's good for our enviornment and it's certainly cheaper for those people who are perhaps using public transport for the first time."

Mr Watkins says demand for public transport was much higher than the Government had anticipated.

"This is probably the biggest week of the year when it comes to public transport because everyone is back at school, everyone is back at work and universities are fully prepared," he said

"We did put extra services on yesterday morning to cope with that surge, but I suppose a pleasing factor was that more people seemed to try public transport for the first time."

MOTORFEST 2008 - A Tale of buses, woman and dribblies! PART 3

OK you can stop all the complaining now, I am here with the photographs from Motorfest.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a display based on motor vehicles, mostly cars, but also a variety of buses and the odd truck, this years Motorfest was more like a who's who of a railfan meet at thew Hurstville exhibition.
Amongst the usual selection of societies strangest examples, were a few hobos, numerous scummy examples of what our youth have become and one old guy that must have forgotten to put on his pants before leaving his cave.
Of course there were the usual railfan selection of Charlie Lewis, Craig (aka Frankenstein) and everyones absolute fave, Jason.

Yummmmmm - One of the many delightful views at Motorfest!

Yes Jason, well what can you say, it takes a special person to hang out of a Chinese bus on George Street screaming out to the world that he is a 'FOAMER'. Most of us like to just keep this announcement on the internet for the world to see. Onya mate, the general public has successfully been made to think even less of bus fans than was previously the case.

The Chinese bus is seen near Central station!

Anyway, these miseries aside, I was able to meet up with mates Jason, Annabelle (hmmmm yum), and railfans Alan D, Brad P (aka Spadge), Greg T and Jim. Of course the constant selection of delicious looking woman surely made the event even more pleasurable.

The free bus rides around the city were fun as always, though the loads encountered in the afternoon must have made these old vintage rattlers wonder what hit them. They got absolutely packed at times as even regular travelers hoped aboard.
Even if you aren't into cars, Motorfest is worth it for the buses alone. All are in a great condition thans to the efforts of the HCVA!

Ahhhhhh GOD himself invented the Torana! No greater car exists!

Yep, sorry to disappoint you, but there isn't much for the 'Fed Up Foamer' to whinge about when it comes to Motorfest. The good things far outweighed the suffering endured due to bad things, and demented chunks of humanity.

Enjoy the shots.

Yes I realise the Fed Up Foamer has been remiss in following through on his 'Motorfest' obligations!
In all honesty I have just been fed up. Thats right, fed up. Westerners have been iritating me at an all time maximum of late.
So will we start the Motorfest dribble?

NO, NOT YET!

Sorry but a worrisome burger at the local greasy shop has had me on the throne for two days and sweating like a dirty session in a Bangkok girlie bar.
The plan is to rubbish on more about it tomorrow, but in the meantime, fondle yoursel with these two tasty selections.
