But I could be wrong.

The 333 is time competitive with the train for most city destinations outside of peak.

I don't know what has changed since that makes people prefer to ride through on the bus.
More buses from the bridge to the beach to ease congestion

The NSW Government will deliver one of Australia’s most frequent bus services between two of the country’s most famous landmarks.
Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Andrew Constance revealed the 333 bus will run as often as every three minutes during the peak between Bondi Beach and Circular Quay.
“This turn-up and go bus will one of the most frequent transport services operating in Australia, making it even easier for people to get between two of our most popular destinations,” Mr Constance said.
“It will enable more than 1,000 extra customers to get on a bus along Bondi Road during the morning peak alone. We will also boost capacity by 10,000 on the weekends for families and tourists visiting Bondi Beach.”
“We will deliver this improved service for people of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs with our existing fleet of bendy-buses, which saves taxpayers both time and money, and gives commuters another reason to leave the car at home”
Outside weekday peaks State Transit will run 333 buses every six minutes during the day and every 10 minutes at night, seven days a week. The overnight 333N bus will operate all-stops between the City and North Bondi, making it easier to get home.
Member for Vaucluse Gabrielle Upton welcomed improvements to the 24/7 service between North Bondi and the City .
“The 333 between Bondi Beach and Sydney’s CBD is arguably the most iconic bus route in the world and now it has a world-class service to match,” Ms Upton said.
Member for Coogee Bruce Notley-Smith agreed both locals and tourists will benefit from the changes.
“This is great for the Coogee electorate. It’s more than a turn up and go service, it’ll be a turn up and get on that puts an end to commuters along Bondi Road being forced to watch buses go by full,” Mr Notley-Smith said.
Changes will be made to other routes in the east, with improvements to reliability and service frequencies during off peak, evenings and weekends.
Improved service delivery will replace four routes that currently operate to Bondi Junction - the 382, X79 and X84 from North Bondi and 361 from Tamarama. The enhanced services will also see route changes for the L24, 380 and 381.

The service changes will commence on Sunday 23 September, 2018.
The reason for the number change is quite clear to me. The 380 no longer serves this corridor, with 333 being the sole flagship route; but it's not quite the 333 as it's all stops. Hence, 333N.• New route 333N replaces the current 380 overnight all stops service between North Bondi and City
• The service will run from 11pm until 6am operating at all stops
I wish they'd stop using that term (unless they mean third world, not first world). It might be world class if it had bus priority (lanes, traffic lights), all-door loading, 100% low floor buses and was able to run to timetable.Xplorer wrote:"now it has a world-class service to match".............

I think the point was: why bother truncating the all stops 380 over night service and replacing it with a variation of the 333? - the all stops over night 333N.mandonov wrote:They never claimed it to be a new fangled service.

Gunzel or not, you can also see that the air conditioning unit on the roof has been left redFrosty wrote:They could of ad wrapped all-over the metrobus livery and not have to include the windows. I guess only us gunzels would be able to tell some of these adwrap buses are really red metrobuses.
Maybe they should ad wrap some P's metrobus units into a similar thing but instead for Anzac Parade & Allison Rd that will fool some voters.
shonky job.
Sorry I mean: will the bus timetable will shown at the bus stop for 23rd of September?boronia wrote:Please repeat the question. I doesn't make sense
