A spokesperson at Blacktown City Council has provided an estimate cost of completing sheltered bus stops within Blacktown City Council s being over $750,000. Theses costs were estimated over 4 years ago and i believe funding doesn't allow to cover these costs, of which I can understand.
Estimate received from Mayor of Blacktown City Council that Blacktown L.G.A.has 1675 bus stops which 34 percent are sheltered. If we hthat would leave approximately 1106 unsheltered bus stops - that would mean that the total cost to construct a bus stop would be to the nearest dollar (without adding inflationary costs since the last four years being $678.00.
My personal thoughts (and everyone of us may have a different point of view) is one out of every two bus stops should be sheltered. What do you thunk?
