Steer clear of bus and taxi only areas

Of recent times there have been more private cars transiting through the Burns Cres bus and taxi only area.

Soon some pedestrians will be hit by one of those cars.

The area signage says for buses and taxis only, but the status and type of cars in transit suggest (the drivers think) the ruling doesn’t apply to them.

Recently, late one night after the arrival of a Sydney train, one driver picked up some of her friends at the bus stop, then proceeded along Burns Cres at speed.

She did not notice people were on the pedestrian crossing and was forced to brake suddenly.

Had one of the passengers not brought to the attention of the driver that people were crossing the road there might have been an accident.

The driver was observed driving away laughing.
