Activities
The Public Transport Commission decided to adopt the mandarin blue and ivory livery being rolled out on news buses as standard, with suburban electric trains and ferries repainted. The trains and ferries would revert to their tuscan and green liveries in the 1980s. The L7 logo was introduced in 1975. It would continue to be used, albeit with different colours, on buses and ferries until 1989 and on trains until 2010.
While best remembered as an era of cutbacks, investment was made during the tenure of the Public Transport Commission with the following ordered:
- 312 Leyland Leopard buses
- 750 Mercedes-Benz O305 buses
- 359 Comeng built double deck suburban carriages
- 150 A Goninan & Co built double deck suburban carriages
- 30 double deck interurban carriages
- 10 FAM sleeper carriages
- 30 Class 80 diesel locomotives
- 10 Class 85 electric locomotives
- various modern bulk freight wagons
- 2 Lady class ferries (Street & Herron)

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
