Transport for NSW’s ‘Open Data & Innovation’ team are working with Waverley Council who have designated some new kerbside spaces as pick-up and drop-off bays (PUDO Bays) which are open to use for the public including rideshare operators.
Private vehicles and rideshare drivers will be able to safely use these designated areas instead of busy zones and areas where they are not allowed to stop. 10 locations are being trialled around Bondi Beach and Bondi Junction.
Taxis are also able to use PUDO Bays however they should not be used like a taxi zone for standing, rather just for pick-up and drop-off.
As part of the program, Transport for NSW are publishing the locations of the PUDO Bays on the open data hub, so MaaS (Mobility as a Service) Apps, navigation tools and rideshare companies can integrate the locations into their products. TfNSW will be supporting 2x MaaS apps to integrate the data for the trial period which runs for 12 months starting 27 July.
Point to point drivers are encouraged to use these PUDO Bays, which are located in the following places:
- Grafton Street outside Bondi Junction Interchange
- Glenayr Avenue south side between Glasgow Avenue and Beach Road
- Curlewis Street north side between Campbell Parade and Gould Street
- Roscoe Street north side between Gould Street and Gould Lane
- Hall Street north side between Gould Lane and Campbell Parade
- Campbell Parade west side between Lamrock Ave and Hall Street
- Hall Street north side between O’Brien Street and Gould Street
- Adelaide Street west side between Oxford Street and Grafton Street
- Bronte Road west side between Ebley Street and Spring Street (this will be installed following completion of the Bondi Junction Cycleway).
