I took this photo of Irisbus 317 having a bike put on the bike-rack outside the Cohen St Bus Station. It's not a great shot, I was a passenger in a car at the traffic lights. But it's my first photo there, so I'm putting here! :P

Nice picture, but I have one thing to say.....
Somebody actually caught a bus from Cohen Street Bus Station!!!
OH MY GOD its so bizarre, why would anyone catch a bus from a stop!
I know several people this new stop helps out...it's not a half bad location, but I could see it being a bit deserted there, unless you catch a full bus in the afternoon, you can beat the crowds and get on at Cohen instead of Lathlain.

From my experience the Bus Station that isn't busy is the Camron Ave. one. I have found that Cohen st. is rather busy at times.
I did a quick drive around on Tuesday. Lathlain was busiest and there wasnt much happening at Cameron or Cohen
I caught a bus [10 route] at the Cameron St Bus station on Tuesday. Nowhere to sit down as seat is so small and it was already taken. Quite a few people, including me, had to stand waiting in the cold and wind. I'm not looking forward to when winter really hits! I only had to be there [at the Cameron St Bus station] because my bus stop on Hennessey St., wasn't finished. [It was meant to be finished by now but the rain delayed it, according to the chap I spoke to on the phone about it.]
I can understand if the infrastructure at Lathlain and Cameron is just a few shelters given that its temporary (although it will be in place for 18 months at least), but the infrastructure at Cohen is very lacking. Surely they could have installed a much better shelter structure.
I actually complained about the Camron Ave. station Northbound stops on Wednesday because there is No-where that you can take shelter out of the rain.
Lets hope enough people complain about it, so they do something!
