Not agreeing with what the students did, but the temperature of the day would have to be taken into account.

I was on a bus yesterday and the driver was playing an Adele album for the whole bus to hear the entire hour and 20 minutes.

Re: A safety question.......

I've never seen or heard of this being done before. Passengers, whether they're students or not, should be able to make use of all the seats of the bus hired regardless of how many seats are actually needed.

Re: Veolias at Bankstown Today

I can't remember exactly when I arrived at Bankstown but it would have been around 12-12:30pm. Yeah we should arrange a meeting sometime which won't be hard considering we always seem to be in the same place at the same time!

These Bustech O 500s that Veolia have are excellent buses, I hope they keep getting more!

Re: Complete Collection of Cityrail Maps

Netzplan maps look very nice, I really like them. Especially their Melbourne network map which is quite a bit better than the current one used by Metro Trains Melbourne.
