Picking up / Dropping off at Traffic Lights

Picking up / Dropping off while waiting at Traffic Lights.
I know this practice is discouraged and most drivers don't like doing it but is it actually illegal?
I did a few google searches and could not find any specific road rule against it.

Re: Transdev Greenfield changes

Are they using Myki touch on data to gauge customer numbers?

With 50 to 100% fare evasion after 6pm surely this would skew numbers?

Re: 901 On McDonald's Rd South Morang

You want to do something about it?

I could use 6 angry men with idiot nets to jump outta my bus when the rocks / bricks hit the windows.

Be at Epping or South Morang Station any night after 7pm.

Thanks.

Re: Passengers not paying fares

If you Fake On - always remember to Fake Off !! A little bit of adjustment to the interior mirror and most drivers can see myki fakers. Bus Vic AOs with myki scanners were at Frankston Station the other evening checking bus patrons. For them a happy hunting ground of fare evaders. I'm sure they'll b...

Re: Rock hurled at Grenda Group Driver

Seeing "ROCK BUSES" graffitied over the South Morang Skate Park on McDonald Road is not real comforting. Glad to see a step up of patrols in this region.
