And one important point you make is that it is NOT just a NSW problem as some people would like to make out.

In Transit wrote:None of this is to say that tying operator's revenue to patronage is impossible - its not. However, it does get complicated very quickly, and do not underestimate the cost to government of shifting that risk to the operator - this will be reflected in increased contract prices and profit margins to the operators (current margins are low, reflecting the level of risk and capital expenditure operators are faced with).

After the Brooky B7 Bustechs (ending in 2724, there appears to be no allocation of fleet numbers frpm 2725 to 2748 inclusive.
In the immortal words of the late great Professor Julius Sumner Miller (in an annoying American accent!) ..why is this so??

Instead of Epping Rd? Where does it go after Mowbray Rd inbound?

Richard290 wrote:Here’s some outdated route information still on show at Lane Cove Interchange Stand C (stop 2066 228).
140 has been discontinued
252 now extends to Gladesville
289 no longer runs, having been replaced by a rerouted 292
292 now runs via Mowbray Rd
Info for route 530 is missing. 530 runs to Burwood via Drummoyne and Five Dock.
I sent some feedback to TfNSW, hopefully they’ll update the route information soon.

Might be a bit of an overestimate in patronage, perhaps?
Another news was when the M54 was pulling into Stand D on Beecroft Road at Epping Station. The bus was 1701, another artic which had been blocked by two other STA buses in Stands E and F which were in the way of the bus pulling into Stand D in the middle of afternoon traffic which caused at conflict with the two other buses. Even worse was the fact the M54 bus was full with many Epping Boys students blocking access to the small rear door.
