Title: Safety Improvements made at Hall Interchange
Post by: Buzz Killington on February 10, 2011, 08:35:32 PM
QuoteStudents using the Hall Bus Interchange will now have a safer trip to school after the ACT Government agreed to implement safety measures along the road

More info and an article scan at Alistair Coe's Website (http://www.alistaircoe.com.au/2011/hall-bus/) and the Hall and Districts (http://www.hall.act.au/read/1621/bus-interchange-action.html) website.

For those who are unaware, ACTION haven't used Hall Interchange since 1997's Route 742:

Interchange ?? It's just a bus stop!

Depends on your definition of Interchange I guess. Presumably there is some passengers changing between buses there.

Some? At around 4:10 about 10 school buses roll in, and there is about 400 I'd say passengers moving through it is definitely a interchange.

Many people use the stop outside Hawker College in the afternoons, does that make it "Hawker Interchange?"

No I was saying it's a busy Bus stop and with the amount of school kids that go through there in the afternoon from personal experience it needs these safety improvements.

Do passengers change between buses there, 400:D, or is it just buses passing through?
