The timetable & map for new Route 768 between Box Hill & Deakin University is now available on the Metlink website. The service will commence on July 19, the second week of trimester 2. The timetable is shown to operate until October 22 - suggesting the route may only operate during uni trimesters.

It operates weekdays only, with a intervals ranging between 40 and 60 minutes. It takes a slightly different route than the 281 or 767, running down Station Street before turning into Canterbury Road, then Elgar Road, Burwood Hwy and Holland Avenue into the campus. A new stop is being installed on Canterbury Road at Surrey Park.
The service was a recommendation in the Manningham/Monash/Whitehorse bus review, which noted a need for increased services between Box Hill and Deakin Uni. In April, Route 281 was also extended to Deakin Uni. Note that 768 was initially announced as 767A. (see - http://www.premier.vic.gov.au/component ... /9972.html)
