The new sky-blue & White bus stops?

Post by Newcastle Flyer »

1) What's with the "half-height" bus stops such as this one instead of the full height ones of the same design?:

2) Was their really a need to change them instead of just adding the extra information box?

3) I noticed that most new signs are a rectangle, and some new signs are just the round top J-pole signs in the new sky-blue and white colour.

These are for places where there isn't enough space for a full height one. For example, they have some at Rockdale station because there is a low awning over it.

Ditto at Everton Road next to Strathfield Station.

Yet they had full height ones before they changed them.

They look like a magnet for vandalism.
