The target market is people coming in from nth melb station, but i just happen to live very nearby and work at the uni. Patronage seems low, but because journeys are so short, perhaps there are more boardings per hour than there appear...<BR/><BR/>either way i suspect that part of the point of the service is to reduce pressure on melb central and the trams up to the uni, so i guess the bus doesn't have to pay for itself.<BR/><BR/>incidentally, the signage on the bus is great in distinguishing from a distance the 401 from the footscray/dynon rd bus that also runs along grattan st.Jasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022118000514692779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18909424.post-46688027887202409792008-03-10T16:45:00.000+11:002008-03-10T16:45:00.000+11:00Sounds like a bit of positive action by utter fool...Sounds like a bit of positive action by utter fool Kosky. I don't like the whole naming of the bus route painted on the actual bus. I think all of Melbourne's bus routes should be uniformly painted a set series of colours (irrespective of model or size of bus) and just have the destination and naming different. That's much easier and more integrated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
