I saw the 5ish service leaving Belconnen with one passenger on it a while ago......

Unfortunately, as much as I want this service to stick around, it will just become yet another attempt, another failed attempt.

The morning one gets about 20 people apparently.

The 5pm one gets most of those coming back, 6pm not so many.

John, the one you saw at Belconnen was near the start of its run, it goes through there BEFORE the City Interchange, obviously it is not going to be full of people there. Thats like saying that nobody uses route 313 because you saw it leaving the Fraser East Terminus with only 1 person on it.

Oh thats good then, as long as they're getting good loadings...

And the 313 doesn't go to Fraser East :P

20 people is getting there but at $20 return they must have some subsidization? Goulburn Business Community was pushing for the service

Yeah, it is very subsidised, but I'm not sure by who, but I definately know it is.
