Really disappointed in Pixlr, as a "premium" subscriber, they've decided to restructure their plans including their AI suite. I'd assume this has happened in the last week or so, previously on my plan tier I could generate as many AI images as I liked at no additional cost, now they've int...

Very happy to note that when previously asked on the future of then Interlines sole in existence Volvo B7RLE Alan B Denning m/o 8264, it appears it's NSW registration has just been renewed for another year. Previously I held speculation that on theories it would either not be retained by Transit Sys...

When you really need to use the restroom while out, you find it only to discover there's only two stalls and both of them are already in use Those so called "water saving timer tap heads" where you push down on the tap to turn them on, I've found most of these last only 5-10 seconds before...

Valid Point Campbelltown Busboy, can't really see why discussion from a drivers prospective wouldn't be allowed just because the board is more enthusiast centered than operator focused. I'm sure there's been drivers here in the past who have raised concerns about passengers while on their runs and n...

Attempting to source an official battery replacement for my less than 5 year old DLSR is proving to be a pain in the rear end. JB-HI-FI who use to stock it don't now (page listing 404's for it) shortage / stock supply they say hence the 404 (Not found). The less than 3 camera retailers who have the ...

One of Busways Elements has lost some of its Electric Livery its either 5000 or 5001 are they being debranded or just repannelled? I think the hype regarding electric buses is probably over to be honest, soon enough electric buses will be more commonplace on the roads that they'll be no point promo...

Seeing bus registrations appear on real time trip tracking (finally)

There's still the issue of trackers out there that display as something other than what the actual bus is through but this is a start.

See this media release on 4th October https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/news-and-events/media-releases/real-time-tracking-on-1800-more-regional-buses It is progressively being rolled out. But it does not seem to mention that it includes registrations. And it does now, TransportNSW or 3rd party trip ...

This turns out to be quite fortunate when you consider it; genuine appreciation is necessary as a lot of internet sites or content won't really last beyond three - five years on average. Take a good look at some of the older photo threads on here, Image providers that were the go to back in the day ...

What on earth is with motorists on the freeway where as soon as you flick your indicator on to overtake a slow vehicle in front / ahead of you, the driver behind you decides to do the same and pulls out onto the overtaking lane before you can?

Annoys me to no end

Newcastle pair 1407 and 1430 withdrawn. Seems like terminal problems with these 2. Interesting as 1430’s rego has only just been renewed for a further 12 months How long will it take before a possible registration cancellation kicks in? Just decided to have a quick look over on RMS registration che...

The borad will last as long as the busaustralia.com website domain is kept upto date as the borad is apart of busaustralia.com website in general In taking into account user activity too, no users no point keeping the doors open, much like a business that isn't making money if there's no customers....

Has Red bus Possibly taken delivery of a new bus recently or demonstrator? Seeing a bus tracking for Red Bus Services that I've not seen before, showing as an Isuzu LT111P Custom Coaches SERIES315 on route 20 currently. Don't believe I've seen this tracking before. No, Red Bus does no longer have an...

Careful about mentioning existing companies within the TNSW Contracts network that haven't yet been run out or gobbled up by the majors, next week we'll be seeing headlines the state is saying time is winding up for them & announcing at the next contract renewal one of the big mobs are taking ov...

Not sure where to post this but I'll put it in here for the time being; News Article on the oliveri family who you may previously know of having run Metro-link. The Oliveri family lost their contract. Now, almost all Sydney buses are run by multinationals https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/the-oliv...

I'm pretty sure the same is happening up here in the Hunter, I saw an out of service Optimus the other day displaying the "Hunter Valley Buses" logo on the destination board instead of CDC NSW. Also a mix of buses using new & old accreditation, 5148 MO having come back from being off t...

also did see 4697 down there too near their secondary shed getting something done. Maybe it might be next for the graveyard Hey Benny, Just an update since the last posting, 4697 MO I am happy to report is still alive & well, it's parked back in the front of Thornton Depots yard alongside the o...

m/o 9999 Registration expires 13/10/2023 - only just a week to go. m/o 8264 Registration expires 27/11/2023 With the age of these buses they will NOT be automatic transfers to the new operator. It will be up to Interline to dispose of these buses which will include an option for the new operator to...

On the topic of Interline, do we know the future for two of their buses? m/o 9999 MAN 10.155, Volgren CR221L m/o 8264 Volvo B7RLE Alan B Denning MAN is a 1998 make, not wheelchair accessible & doesn't appear to operate revenue runs(?) Either it will be shortly retired as by November it will be ...

although they say they are set up to build 2.5m but I think it is just a way to stop another factory going overseas where it is a race to the bottom. It possibly seems ridiculous but if there is concerns in regards to this possibly sending local body builders out of business, is it out of the realm...
