Huh, bus shelters are old hat.
It is merely a ruse by that miserable looking Bob Carr looking for another way to raise some additional revenues.
The moment these bus shelters have been sold the owners will get slugged with a public-space-occupying fee.
If you think that is not possible think back to the time when banks were slugged because people were queuing up on the footpath to use the teller machines which fronted the street.
Councils were quick to charge the banks for the banks’ customers occupying public (yes, PUBLIC) space standing on the footpath waiting their turn to use the teller machines.
You know Carr is in deep financial sh*t the moment you use the harbour bridge. You would soon realise that Carr cannot even afford to have properly lighted signs on the collection booths of the harbour bridge.
BillFromOz should be thoroughly ashamed about trying to suck his fellow website visitors into such an atrocious investment.
A much better alternative is to buy the advertising signs attached to the back of taxis.
Some of the many advantages are that the signs have much greater exposure because of their mobility, no public-space-occupying fee can be levied on a moving target AND the acquisition cost is approx half.
The smart taxi operators buy a new (second hand) taxi every four years or so which sets them back about $ 12 K.
Many of them would be more than willing to sell the advertising space on the back of the taxi for around $ 3K.
That is for the life of the taxi (about 4 years). If you increase the purchase price to $ 6 K that will buy you the advertising space in perpetuity.
I understand that Taxis Combined in Sydney have only around 300 such opportunities left. Their phone number is (02) 8 332 8888.
I unequivocally state that, unlike BillFromOz, I do not stand to make any commission from any such sales.
