Timeframe likely to have been a major consideration. Had Transit Systems been able to commission the 50 Custom Denning Elements it has in store that would have largely provided the necessary number of buses, that presumably is not likely to happen requiring a plan B. TfNSW is stating that it has no...

280 is being taken over by Keolis Downer Northern Beaches . Temporary arrangement apparently due to a driver shortage. With Route 137 merging into Route 280, I wonder if the takeover by Keolis Downer is permanent. https://transportnsw.info/news/2024/service-adjustments-for-buses-on-northern-beaches

Chatswood to Sydenham is an entirely new line. Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk But the point is that the conversion of the existing Bankstown Line to driverless metro isn't a new line. That's the difference. While it's completely feasible to convert legacy rail lines to GoA2, with a driver sti...

Sydney Metro has 4 weekend closures in March, 2 in April and 2 in May. This is just awful. :evil: Sydney Metro's parent company MTR opened various extensions in its home country Hong Kong (East Rail Line, Kwun Tong Line, Island Line) and all of them opened without disrupting the existing service to...

Special Event 443 service will commence from 8 March, from QVB to White Bay Power Station, as a loop service. No timetable uploaded yet. https://transportnsw.info/routes/details/sydney-buses-network/443/74443 It is for the Biennale of Sydney, from 8 March to 10 June: https://transportnsw.info/event...

I think the trackwork timetable this week is a good indication on what to expect. Liverpool starters are re-routed via Regents Park. St Peters and Erskineville are served by Campbelltown starters in peak and Sydenham starters in off-peak. I'm not sure where you get the idea that there will be Syden...

This latest update confirms that T8 services via Sydenham will continue to service St Peters and Erskineville in a staged process before they are permanently transferred to the T4 and Illawarra Line, although in the absence of T3, it will temporarily become an all day service to both stations when ...

291 operates in school vacation as well as it is for Aruma Disability Services, not a normal school service.

Then, why isn't it classified as a public bus route?

Hourly service will start from 16 Dec.

From 10 Dec 2023, "Busways R1" will take over bus routes currently operated by "Busways Western Sydney".

433 and 504 improvements appear to be caused by reallocation from the 431 and 504X respectively. 389, 438X, 442 and 470 improvements aren't explained by reallocation. Entirely likely that TSA has hired enough extra drivers to cover the demand, region 6 is one of the most populous regions after all....

U-go uploaded trip data for 452,453,953,954 from 19 Nov onwards.
Do they have enough drivers for those routes?

Transit Systems NSW SW has uploaded Post 08 Oct 23 timetables for Region 2.

There's a new Region 3 map with route 920 replacing 915 and new Region 10 map with route 960 replacing M92.

As the weekend cap is increased by 50c, probably the daily cap will be increased by a hefty $1.

"Probably is NOT fact. Please stay with facts.

It is a fact that the weekend cap is increased by 50c.
It is also a fact that the weekday cap is always set as twice the weekend cap.

Where the hell is the increase to the intermodal transfer? The same place as the daily and weekly caps - such chnages dont exist. Will there be peak fares on Friday? It does not look like it. Bus let us wait see what is in the official TfNSW advice. Press articles dont always get it 100% right or g...

Fri, Sat and Sun are now an $8.90 cap.
We used to have a lower cap on Sundays only - and it caused havoc with the ferry service on sunny Sundays.

That's an awful 6% increase from current $8.40 cap.

According to Schedule 8, all fares are set by TfNSW and notified to the Operator.
MFF has no control on the fare so it is no different from a co-operator of ferry route F1.

It sounds like they are splitting the M92 at Bankstown the 960 on TripView is marked as unkown but the stop listed when you select the route are the same stops that are listed for the Bankstown-Sutherland section of the M92 If the route is split, then Transit Systems will likely be taking over the ...
