It's good to see Sydney fixing their beg buttons. As a visitor, it was a bad characteristic of a city I otherwise quite like.
Too bad it took COVID-19 to do this. (In the long term they should just get rid of the buttons entirely, rather than just making them useless.)

See my comments from almost 2 years ago, after my most recent visit to Sydney (part of a thread on visiting there):
On the negative side, the city center is pretty car-centric, and pedestrian hostile. Intersections in the core have beg buttons for pedestrians. Sometimes the person at the front of the crowd of 20 waiting to cross doesn't press it... and then it's a crowd of 50.
