There are many exemptions in coal mines or like the Sydney bus being allowed to overload, so getting an exemption for a speed limited Trailerbus would be easy peasy.eddy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 8:49 pm This would be great for northern beaches to Mascot https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/ ... top-button
If I were an international tourist landing at Mascot I would much prefer a ride up top with a one seat ride with the view to the northern beaches and back to wherever I decide where to stay than have a multiple changes some of which are in a tunnel with no view and having to transfer any luggage as well.
A prime mover plus Trailerbus would cost $500,000 and in my opinion it would be worth a trial.

I had this thought that if anyone is interested in the Trailerbus I could drive a similar tautliner wherever (particularly over the harbour bridge to give tourists a great view) if they want.

Queensland is replacing a footy stadium but NSW cannot even afford a trial Trailerbus.

Re: ACA transport accessibility story 1995
Sydney is also replacing a football stadium so what is the relevance of your post?

Yes they do not agree with yours but that does not mean they are wrong.

I agree with you but how would they know without trying.Fleet Lists wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 8:28 pm Yes they do not agree with yours but that does not mean they are wrong.
Really, the cost of a trial is peanuts compared to a stadium.
Having driven both buses and semitrailers I think I would have a better idea than some office worker.
