Re: Timetable Changes 2024,

It makes sense that the N91 no longer operates between Town Hall and Bondi Junction as routes 324 & 333 operate 24 x hours. Route 324: Town Hall Stn, Kings Cross Stn & Edgecliff Stn. Route 333: Martin Pl Stn & Bondi Jct. Stn. 254. No longer operates to the city, loop around Riverview. 26...

Re: Timetable Changes 2024,

I noticed that on the map, the 549 is one of the routes that are allegedly being improved which, if true, would be a surprise and could end up being the backup option to get to Epping. I cant imagine how else would they improve it that wont look overkill as I think its on a roughly 30min peak/60min...

Re: Western Sydney Airport (WSA) Rapid Bus Routes - Campbelltown, Liverpool and Penrith

The surrounding suburbs around Western Sydney Airport in South Western Sydney towards Campbelltown will experience growth in public transport, maybe a new bus depot will be required somewhere in this part of Sydney.

Re: Timetable Changes 2024,

^ Maybe the 389 can return to operating to/from Circular Quay and the section of route between The Star and Town Hall can become route 443 and operate as a loop service around the Town Hall area.

Re: Timetable Changes 2024,

Somebody might want to figure out how Transit Systems manages to run so many of the region 6 routes into the other areas. Ones that come to mind - there's more - include the 389, 410, 530 and the 320 which barely even runs into region 6 if I'm not mistaken, depending on where one draws the boundary...

Re: Bus Observations 2024.

I'd like to know how many buses in the NSW bus fleet have FUNCTIONING fire suppression systems (FSS). I assume they all have FSS when new, but the FSS is not inspected along with everything else (brakes, tyres, seat-belts, etc...) at the mandatory 6-monthly inspections by TfNSW. Why?: because FSS s...

Re: ex-State Transit Vehicle Transmissions

4994 - 4999 units were built / registered / delivered not long before the batch of units 1870 - 1889. The numbering and batching of buses became even more sporadic and sometimes random in appearance from the fleet numbering of 1900 through to 2300’s.
