Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nason. Probably timely to talk about this
right now if you're coming into work. Commuters have been
urged to brace for bus chaos with the Metro shake
up to go ahead despite the train delay. So what's
happened is like digital Jenna that works here and jem
y right, you catched you work a user bit of
public transport?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, I catch a busy.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
So have you been affected by this?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Not particularly? No?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Okay, So passengers have been worn to brace for commuter
chaos today because what happened. They've put an overhauled bus
time table in because they thought that the Metro. You
know Victoria Square which is just down from where we
are in North Sydney, that was supposed to.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Be open, but it hasn't opened.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Have you been passed it lately?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Haven't?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
There's still scaffolding, there's still some n trucks. It's not
I would imagine that thing's not going to be opened.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
By chrisp When was it supposed to open.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
It was supposed to open five weeks ago. I'm telling
you right now it's not happening.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
But they must know that it's not going to open time.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yes and yes, right, yes, And this is what drives
me crazy about the dopes that run this city on
their state so Transport for New South Wales coordinator Howard
Collins has defended the decision to forge your head with
a new bus timetable urged commuters to check their trips
ahead of jumping on buses this week. Well that's all
well and good old mate, but this is what he said.

(01:21):
We can't turn off, on and off these bus changes.
Five weeks ago there was a reasonable amount of confidence
the metro would be open. Are you joking right? If
he went past it. There's no way that thing's going
to be open. So they can't go and do all
the rosters again. If we pulled it down now, it
would take another three or four weeks to get it
back again.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
So they got rid of all the busses because of
the new metro line and the metro line's not ready.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yes, great, how is it? Amanda goes away on assignment? Right.
We managed to get co hosts from wherever to feel
in and do the show. We didn't know Amanda was going.
This thing came from nowhere. It was a last minute thing.
We managed to pull that together. You know, Larry just
doesn't show up for nothing. We've got to organize some stuff.
How is it the dopes that run this state can't

(02:08):
readjust the timetable so people like yourself digital Jenna, She can't.
If we're over at Northride, for example, at or Quarry Park,
that line because they're waiting for the metro is not
ready to go.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
I don't know how I'm going to come to work tomorrow.
I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
You're coming to work tomorrow
