Observed yesterday that the inward bus stop near Magnet Court in Sandy Bay has been moved from outside Banjos Bakery to outside the Metz between Gregory Street and Princes Street. The 1/2P parking zone outside the Metz has been moved to the former bus stop.

The route number is shown at the top of each section as is a graphic showing the major stopping points of the route together with estimated travel times between those points. The actual departure times are shown in a similar manner to Melbourne trams with the hour in the left column and the minutes only of the departures within that hour on the right. For example departures between 7am and 7.59am will be shown as

Haha, stranger things have happened!

These have also been installed along Strickland Avenue/Marlyn Road, which only recently had the full colour traditional timetables put in the cases.
