These are really nice photos as well. What camera/settings do you use to get night shots so clear, without the light blurring? I'm guessing that not all the buses were stationary when you took the photo?

I was simply using the auto (no flash) mode on my Nikon D5500. Autofocus as well not manual focus.

Most buses were stationary.

The Bustech " truck" would have been my favorite by far if it wasn't for the rubbish bin. Maybe it is meant to be in there. :twisted:

Yeah I also stupidly brought an umbrella with me, which made taking the pics extra hard with the running around! :P

Boronia has seen a lot of short buses running southbound m20s in the PM peak.

Presumably supplementary services from CBD to Botany to replace 309/310s?

It's the rear half of the MetroBus artic :P

I've seen these shorter buses on 891 at 5.00 pm as well. Imagine the crush!
