An hour to get from Newtown to CBD: warnings over impending gridlock | Rabe9

“Physical distancing may not always be practical, especially in peak periods,” the government briefing also said.

Commuters exiting Town Hall station on Tuesday morning after new public transport restrictions were imposed.NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Tuesday morning said she wasn’t aware the earlier advice had been sent to bus drivers when asked about it. Asked whether the union was considering taking industrial action in coming weeks, Mr Babineau said he wouldn’t rule anything out, and that the safety of drivers was the primary concern.

If all CBD workers attempted to come back to the city under current public transport restrictions, Dr Ho said up to 250,000 extra cars could end up on Sydney’s roads. He also warned that busy inner-city railway stations posed major risks for physical distancing even if ticket gates were monitored because of the volume of people getting off at the stops.“Don’t transfer at Town Hall because you won’t have room there,” he said.

Sydney bus drivers told not to enforce COVID-19 measuresHundreds of thousands of Sydneysiders will be restricted from travelling into the CBD under new public transport measures. Rabe9 AlexSmithSMH I feel for the drivers - they're between a rock and a hard place on this one. 😔 Rabe9 AlexSmithSMH This is what happens when the moronic Australian Government and their medical 'experts' still insist that wearing masks doesn't work. A hamfisted shitty mess. Rabe9 AlexSmithSMH Good, the government have stuffed up big time with this daft plan. Thousands of workers and school kids will be unable to get on a bus or train otherwise.

So what are the complexities of tracing the virus and could Queensland ever rid itself of it? ABC fear mongering. No journalistic integrity. It is never going to go.
