Smartbus 902 information lights not working

Just caught the Smartbus 902 at Eltham Station which goes in the Chelsea direction. Noticed the lights on the front of the bus letting you know the bus route was black. I also noticed the other Smartbus 902 heading to Airport West was the same.

You may wish to double check with the driver to make sure you're on the right bus.

Does Graffiti art reduce graffiti?

When I read the following article I couldn’t help feeling commissioned graffiti art just adds to the problem. How does a visitor to the area know if the graffiti is commissioned or vandalism?

When I visited Rome a few years ago one thing I noticed was graffiti everywhere. I’d not seen this before and to me, it made me feel the areas with graffiti were potentially rough and unsafe.

I can’t help wondering, “does commissioned graffiti just further encourage vandalism in other areas?”

To the untrained eye, commissioned or non-commissioned graffiti just looks like graffiti.

If anyone knows where this section of road is I’d be interested in checking it out. I find it interesting to read that three people were booked doing 79, 81 and 82 km/h, just a range of 3 km/h. Those numbers are too close. Is this a case of coincidence or is it near an 80km/h section of road and a trap for unsuspecting motorist?
