The 840 will gain passengers as all the vacant land west of Eagle Vale drive gets developedmandonov wrote:Patronage will grow as people become aware of the new routes and adjust accordingly. I can see the 840 becoming extremely popular, being so direct.

That's not surprising when the services are brand new. If they weren't, they'd be too tight when they start to load.J_Busworth wrote:Drivers report ........ run times are way too long.

What is the unexplained dotted line on the map for Route 859 - the future route or possibly the current temporary route? (Sorry, it is a long way from home to check out myself.)Glen wrote:That's not surprising when the services are brand new. If they weren't, they'd be too tight when they start to load.

Unsurprisingly 859 and 868 carried mostly fresh air on the first day
840 got a bit of patronage because of its directness from Oran Park you campbelltown Station, whilst the withdrawal of 896 from Gregory’s Hill also contributed massively to its patronage in that area

Re: New Bus Services for Macarthur Commuters Starting 20 Dec
Similarly, Forest's 141 and 193 are still quite empty after almost three months of operation. In those cases, lack of publicity and absence of updated timetables at bus stops have not helped. I have reported the latter to 131500, but without response so far.Xplorer wrote:Unsurprisingly 859 and 868 carried mostly fresh air on the first day

I believe bus stop timetables are an operator responsibility, so best to contact Forest themselves.
