PASSENGERS' TRANSPORT INDUSTRY * Australia - Boom time for Melbourne buses
Melbourne,Australia -ABC -5 August 2008: -- Bus patronage across Melbourne is booming with a huge 44 percent growth in passengers travelling on Sundays in the past 12 months following a raft of improvements offering a greater choice of public transport services... Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky says a combination of recent upgrades and changes to bus routes – the vast majority which run until 9pm, every day of the week – means 53,000 trips are made on Melbourne’s buses every Sunday... A snapshot of routes upgraded since June 2007 shows:
* A 58 per cent rise in patronage on the Route 901 SmartBus (Ringwood-Frankston);
* A 50 per cent rise patronage on Route 784 (Mornington-Osborne);
* A 32 per cent rise in patronage on Route 564 (Bundoora RMIT-Epping Plaza & Northern Hospital); and
* 25 per cent growth on Route 408 (St Albans-Highpoint City)...
* On weekdays, total bus validations in Melbourne grew by 6 percent in the 12 months to June 2008, compared to the previous year, while Saturday validations rose by an impressive 15 percent... (Video from YouTube, by nic03 - June 19, 2006: "A Melbourne City Bus Adventure" I got lost...so I took video. You will see a typical Melbourne town, roundabouts!, Aussie cars, and typical Melbourne homes. They all have fenced in front yards and some people park their cars on their front lawns. I know, it's interesting)
