Routes and Timetables / Re: December/January timetable
Last post by Bus967 - December 16, 2023, 12:52:11 AM
It does make me wonder, for those who buy tickets, And then they find out it's free travel, will they just stop buying tickets for the Christmas New Year period? And I do also wonder is there gonna be a big fat? Spike in? "sorry, I don't have my Myway card." I'll admit, hearing that with at least three passengers on one route is a little bit disenchanting, even though I know I'm paying for My own ride it's just making me think, surely some of fare must probably put some food on the table for the drivers, Even though I know, they haven't accepted cash for awhile, I do wonder if they should potentially bring back the OF (OPENFARE) , Just so that way, the driver can ask "do you have anything? Just even five cents would do"

I'll probably put the rest of my thoughts in a post a bit later

Don't mean to dead post but, at least to my knowledge there is still one that has been there since my childhood, it's just outside the Lanyon Vikings club about a 10 minute walk from Lanyon terminus, I'm probably gonna visit it tomorrow after I sort out some housework and Repairs

It's located at (-35.4606462, 149.0943214) and the blade has been removed from the other handle across across from where this one is located, I'm not calling in a peg, as I'm thinking a peg is a short, stubby post, either made of wood or metal, like the one found (-35.4185030, 149.0667557) here or the metal ones found in Perth

There's another PR2 still running around, that's 979, I caught it on Tuesday I affectionately call diesehol as it somehow still has the advert for it that have been untouched since before I was born, also, I'll try to add my itinerary of that day and of two days ago where I caught the old ACTION HRV, pulling a bus back to Tuggeranong

Hey guys, one of my personal favourite places to eat would be The Oriana food bar at the corner of Griffith and Canberra Avenue service , It's a cross Griffith Street, From, the stilh power dealer , I'll admit the place kinda does look 80s, but they've got good grub there, and it's somewhat reasonably priced, they used to be a bus stop there too, across the road from it where the 80 used to run

Unexpectedly needed to pick up an item at Majura Park, so:
441 (R3)
431 (R4)
957 (54)
713 (54)
722 (51)
959 (30) Last PR100.2 in service ride? With still no more deliveries, it is looking increasingly likely that there will be one or more of these buses still appearing in service after school resumes next year...
614 (R3)

433 (R3)
526 (58)
347 (58)
400 (70)
320 (66)
959 (47) This bus seemed be in trouble. An alerting beeper was sounding and it struggled badly on the steeper grades. Overheating in the hot weather?

Quote from: Sylvan Loves Buses on December 10, 2023, 09:43:32 PMLol, f*** that.
I am genuinely curious - where does this attitude come from?

It's a polite request from TC; it won't be enforced; the ride is still free; it doesn't take more than a second or two per passenger.
