Interconnecting routes
The Metrobus services allow for the planning of connecting journeys via bus with the M92 intersecting with the new M90 (Liverpool to Burwood) and M91 (Parramatta to Hurstville) services at the Bankstown interchange.
**When crossing East Street please use the pedestrian refuge, available 100m down-hill from the Bus Stop (towards Lidcombe) to cross East Street. The pedestrian refuge is there to assist you to cross the road in two stages. It does not give you right of way over vehicles. You are reminded that under regulation 230 of the NSW Road Rules 2008 pedestrians "must cross by the shortest safe route". This is by using the pedestrian refuge adjacent to Gate 1. The maximum penalty for disobeying this regulation is $2200.
We all have a responsibility for our personal own safety. Please ensure that you cross East Street safely and encourage your colleagues and students to do likewise.
