Since Newcastle buses was privatised several years ago and they changed from 3 digit to 2 digit route numbers they’re all up to date around here. Although you do see some of the old 3 digit signs around the place, usually high up on poles where they were forgotten or too high to easily access.alleve wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 1:10 pmI'd imagine the signs being outdated would make it harder too. Randwick still has signs up for the 400, 410 and 418.Magnetic wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 3:27 am I’ve always wondered how often drivers look at those route direction signs that are on poles before intersections everywhere. I guess it wouldn’t be hard to remember the public bus routes, remembering the 100+ school routes that go down random back streets would be pretty hard.
Some of the school route ones are pretty useless though, faded beyond recognition or just missing completely. I would have thought they would be the ones relied upon more often.
