Isn't it odd that the hospitals are overflowing, fire trucks are braking down, but we still have enough money to waste on this massive crock of sh*t.

Waste of money? It’s not state funded it’s an international company that’s transports them to different cities around the world, Perth should be grateful the operators have ever heard of this small back water where the resident’s critise the wheel just for the sake of it.... no wonder why perth is so boring

I think I heard (not 100%) that it was a private venture that set it up?

Anyway gosh they crammed as many pods on as possible, very close together! But on the upside you would get more time in the air so to speak with more pods to load/unload of people.

Ok sorry I didn't know it was private.

But they could have thought of something more original or interesting, thats unique to Perth.

The state was looking at a permanent one. This is only a temporary one.
