Artarmon Loop

This is so exciting! Councillors have been insistent that we must do more to make public transport a practical option and given that we have such an incompetant, lazy and corrupt state government - local government is beginning to show the way forward. Councils including Lane Cove, Manly and City of Sydney have already established local bus routes which meet the needs of their residents and now its our turn to step into this important but risky business. It can't be an actual business as the aforementioned corrupt and lazy state government has already sold off the city's bus routes and legislatively prohibited anyone else from charging a fee for service! The Artarmon LOOP therefore - is FREE. Initially we will fund the service through our e-restore levy and we look forward to being able to secure sponsorship for it. It will run every 15 minutes starting on Monday the 4th May, Mon - Fri 6am - 6pm. The LOOP starts at St Leonards Station, goes up Herbert St, across to Reserve Rd and then onto the Pacific Highway, past the redeveloping ABC (media) site and down to the station again. It will even be able to carry your bike! For more details on the route click here
