Buses would be supplied as per the contract, you will probably find that the buses were stuck in gridlock traffic conditions,no real easy way to get from Parliment to Camberwell

Re: Transdev Melbourne News 2017

The patronage is still there , just a good percentage just don't pay. A recent example on early run the other morning of about 40 pax only half paid. And it is across most types,Tradies, school Kids, pensioners,Uni students & unemployed.The most honest are office workers & Asians
