2010 Seminar Series
"Sydney's Transport - Where's It Going?"
When: Wednesday, 25th August 2010
Time: 4.00-7.00pm
Venue: Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts (Mitchell Theatre), 280 Pitt Street
For many years now the future of Sydney's transport has been a matter of controversy and complaint, with the inefficiency of the railway system and the continued building of freeways the leading bones of contention. How to handle the interaction of cars, buses, bikes and pedestrians adds to the mix. Several investigations have been made and campaigns run, with those of the Warren Centre and the Sydney Morning Herald quite recent. The groups of transport experts contributing to these reports have failed to persuade the State Government to any clear program of development, so that the title of this seminar is as relevant as it was 20 years ago.
