Buses that wind around the suburbs in a 'zigzag' fashion are totally useless (as if they'd heard of network planning) if you think about it. The straightest line between two points is the most efficient. <BR/>Time to go back to the drawing board, Kosky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18909424.post-89207822182173420572007-12-18T09:55:00.000+11:002007-12-18T09:55:00.000+11:00The 465 is my local, and I must say it is a good r...The 465 is my local, and I must say it is a good route. The thing I appreciate most is the driver's willingness to wait for a late train; the drivers on the 475 - which I also use - don't do this under any circumstance, apparently because they have a tram to meet at the other end of the route, and presumably also because they have no idea how/if late trains are running.<BR/><BR/>The 465 is always well frequented, sometimes to the point of being excessively overcrowded.<BR/><BR/>Moonee Valley council recently looked a traffic calming and disuasal measures for side streets around Buckley St, and proposed getting VicRoads to establish Clearways along Buckley St. I believe these plans collapsed under local objections, except for the Clearway, which I suggested ought to be a bus lane - unsurpisingly, this suggestion was ignored.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01876467436623187291noreply@blogger.com
