It appears we all follow the same sensible route in this case, how strange that 3 of us find it not so hard after all
As for crossing from the Finches side to the station side, I usually cross either opposite the cab station, or further around by the entrance to CityWalk.
Like the other direction I find crossing not to be a problem.
I think most of the issue comes down to a lack of patience, or a lack of common sense, sometimes both. Yesterday after making my previous reply I paid more attention to my fellow commuters as we all crossed, and was pleased to see my observations had been correct....
Dear Commuters...
Its is NOT your god given right to walk out of the station and straight across a road which you describe as 'busy'. Please use a little common sense, STOP... LOOK... and LISTEN.
I fully appreciate that drivers act like idiots around there. But also there is another issue... Some of you naughty commuters getting picked up outside the station, and having your loved ones park illegally, blocking the line of sight for pedestrians and drivers....
All I am trying to say is, its not as simple as motorists to blame, council should make crossings, pedestrian areas etc... its about every contributing factor. Consider YOUR role in this.
