The Playground / Re: Avoiding Interchanges
Last post by L94UBbusfan - Yesterday at 08:58:29 PMQuote from: Barry Drive on Yesterday at 05:03:45 PMSimilar concept, but different routes (mostly):I would do the same, but from the Albert Hall, I would get the 180 or 181 straight to Lanyon (granted this would only be an option during Monday to Friday peak)
R2 Fraser West to Southern Cross Drive / O'Reilly St (cross road)
44 Southern Cross Drive to Higgins Shops (cross road)
45 Higgins Shops to Coulter Dr (any stop- cross road)
47 Coulter Dr to Denman Prospect/ Holborow Av (cross road)
From here, either Sylvan's solution above, or the following:
R10 to Albert Hall
I tried to configure my own concept, but what I found was that it's pretty much impossible to not go via Denman Prospect. Since the discontinuation of the Free City Loop in 2019, there is no way to avoid City Interchange when travelling from one side of the city to the other. I thought about the 31 from Aikman Dr to Ainslie Ave, but it goes through Dickson Interchange.

Glad I was able to ride some Irisbuses today with the Irisbus fleet shrinking quite quickly.

The Playground / Re: Avoiding Interchanges
Last post by Sylvan Loves Buses - Yesterday at 03:54:17 PMI assume all the fake ones like erindale and barton are included. I have a way that only involves crossing the road to parallel bus stops:
41 to 4071/4070 (Copland Dr)
R3 to 4072/4073 (Copland College)
43 to 4145/4146 (Emu Bank)
901 to 4971/4982 (Eardley St)
R9 to 5520/5521 (Belconnen Way)
32 to 4271 (Coulter Dr)
47 to 2832/2833 (Holborow Ave)
66 to 2071/2072 (Launceston St)
62 to 2041/2040 (Wilkins St)
61 to 2095/2382 (Yamba Dr)
72/76/77 to 1170/1174 (Sternberg Cresc)
74 to 2713/1375 (Athllon Dr)
80 to 1215 (Lanyon Market Place)
Depending on the time of day and if all the connections go well that should take roughly 5:20 hours.

The Playground / Avoiding Interchanges
Last post by Bus 400 - Yesterday at 01:52:18 PMHere's one to get the mind going.
So almost 100 years ago, Canberra City Omnibus Service ran buses from Kingston to Ainslie. Some routes went via Civic, others went around Civic.
For my first little game. How would you go from Fraser West Terminus to Lanyon without stopping at or going through an Interchange? This includes Kippax, Cooleman & Tuggeranong Interchanges.
I have a rough idea, probably take all day.
I'll allow a walk to the next closest bus stop.
