Adelaide bus stop signs bear an uncomfortable resemblance to one of history’s most notorious symbols – now the minister has stepped in after a Jewish leader raised concerns.
The stylised character next to a “hail bus” message on Adelaide bus stops has been questioned by the Jewish community, and will be reviewed by the Transport Department.
The design uses a male character standing in the middle of a road, on the wrong side of the bus, hailing it through the driver’s window with a straight right arm and hand.
Long standing Jewish community leader Norman Schueler did not suggest the design was deliberate, but of the new bus stop designs: “Any form of reviving or glorifying Nazism is abhorrent and in poor taste to say the least”.
