Here are some images from today of BUS-378.

Showing Redex on the desto here, It has three scrolls.
1. Redex #
2. Limited Stops (Small, over two lines)
3. (Destination)
great photos!
the redex desto looks a bit strange, why is it centred like that? Seems to me they've decided to use what some might say is an inferior destination programming!
Indeed. The Limited Stops is way too small, over two lines and the whole lot of the Redex desto's are not programmed well. The whole lot of these desto's provide very little information, and are just not as well made as what I would have anticipated. Unlike someone we know who's destos are far superior!
And when you say "the whole lot of these destos".... how many are there? what info do they actually give?
I suspect that ACTION expect that they can get away with "Expresso" "via Russell Barton" and have everyone expect to know what that means.
I am wondering what code do you put in the desto machine, to get that Redex 2 on the desto?
Most of them are just:
Number Final Destination
There are no real extra's, no other information about where the bus travels through. Major shopping points, town centres, the main places where commuters always ask 'Does this bus go to ... Shops?'. Things like 'Tuggeranong' or 'Dunlop Loop' don't really help commuters. The Xpresso's are normally the one's with the extra info, and I will say that the 170 I saw yesterday which was a MAN had:
170 Xpresso
170 Monash
Woden
hmm, time to start a destos thread methinks.
