Citizens Public Transport Forum

[John]

This forum has been mounted by Rail Back on Track, a community group
with which you may be familiar from the CM, 612, BrisTimes, MX where
Bob Dow, the spokesperson, is constantly being asked his comment on
the latest public transport stuff-up or even positive development.

You can see from the list of speakers that the big end of the PT
bureaucracy is turning up to be scarified by the public. Oh, and a
couple of gadflies, Chris Hale and my good self, to provide a bit of a
contrast to the official lines. I expect the audience to be quite
critical of the officials.
Cheers,
John
