Amenities:

• Ticket machine

Since the interchange will operate most of the days, whether peak hour or not, toilets are necessary for the commuters. People from far away would travel here to change their mean of transport and some of them might have already been through a long commuting period. Hence, restrooms would be necessary. Not to mention the cafe and vending machine provided that might cause commuters to drink a lot more.

Since the light rail and buses require Opal card, a news agency is necessary for commuters to top up the credit in their cards. During peak hour, it might be crowded, so a top up machine would be another important amenity to have on site. Some people might also require paper ticket over their Opal, so ticket machine has to be on place.

Some people might use bicycle to travel if they live nearby. Some parking spots will be located on some parts of the interchange.
