Railway Square with rising glass bus shelters and
four sculptures light towers with colored steel ribbons inside
which representing the four elements (Air, Water, Earth and
Fire) were installed in 1999 along George Street.
The use of glass for the Railway Square is quite unique and elegant. Australian love sunshine, glass can let sunshine go through and it can broader people’s view. Glass will not darken the area, instead, it can create some nice shadows on the ground.
Lee Street has a 5-lane arterial, 2 lanes to the west of Sydney and 3 lanes to the inner part of
Sydney. It carries with many modes of transit, from large size trucks, coaches and express buses,
medium size emergency vehicles and local buses to small size personal vehicles. The closest
vehicle lane to the station is bus lane.
Traffic flow is bad during the peak hours, there was a long queue waiting at the intersection,
which block the bus to get in the stop.
Lean rails offer some comfort to transit patrons, but they don’t encourage longer stays.
Along the street, stainless steel chairs at the station for passengers who are waiting for the
bus. They are protected by the sheds from bad weathers.
Umbrellas, coffee tables, rattan chairs are nicely arranged long the glass fences. It is a great place
for resting, slows down people’s pace from busy travelling.
