Seeing double as buses return

DOUBLE-decker buses are set to return to the Sydney Harbour Bridge for the first time in 25 years.

The state government said the two-storey buses would run regular services across the landmark to gauge if they could be used to reduce traffic congestion.

The government said two double-deckers would cross the bridge on the 270 bus route between Terrey Hills and the CBD, with other runs to open in the coming months.

Double-deckers are already operating along the North West T-Way in Sydney's outer suburbs.

Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian said that the tall buses were "one of a number of strategies being employed by the NSW government to improve services for customers".

"Double-decker buses can carry around 110 passengers, twice the number that normal buses carry, and they take up less road and depot space," she said.
