si ginaOriginally posted by stellazio:ooo, what bout the buses?
It's the tram here..
I think Rhonda has said bef, sometimes you can see sparks.. As for buses freq can be like 60 mins for 1 bus
Anyway... The trams here are the king... The tram moves in the middle of the narrow road and cars have to stop bef the tram stop if the shelter is at the side of the road esp the one that leads to Uni of Melbourne
As for here, the reservoirs here are running dry... The plants here are just going dead as no watering of plants is allowed...
Anyway, it's freezing cold here... I went to Philip Island to see the Penguin's return to shore -
what 50mins??
no ezlink?
nac buses?
buses used even after their 10yrs lifespan? -
Anyway...
The Connex trains here are never packed during peak hours...
The bridges here are quite low as well...
Oh yesh, in the CBD area some junctions impose this, 'keep left to turn right' -
Yesh...Originally posted by stellazio:what 50mins??

Tram here freq is like 10 mins
For now, they open up the windows.. Buses wise are air conditioned
Here I dunno... -
and then...
No drinking in public if not kena summon -
As for fares...
It's A$3.20 for zone 1 for 2 hr travel, tickets can be purchased at 7-11 (There's lots here)...
It's for Connex, Buses and Trams..
Once you board the 1st trip you would have to validate it...
This one ask Rhonda better bah -

As for seeing the trams now... It's confirm it'll never work in SG... It's causing terrible jam in Melbourne during peak hrs -

The bus runs more frequently only during peak hours, same as the trams and trains.Originally posted by sbst275:si gina

Hope you enjoyed yourself at the Penguin Parade. Yes, it is usually quite cold over there, since you can only see the Penguins after sunset. However, you are considered lucky with the weather this week. The weather in Melbourne this week is pretty mild and no rain. The only day that is going to rain is this Saturday. So you are here at the right time!
The trains can be packed during peak hours but just that you're here during the school holiday period and Easter long weekend so many people are taking this week off. Even traffic on the road is a lot better this week when coming in to the city to work.Originally posted by sbst275:Anyway...

Oh yesh, in the CBD area some junctions impose this, 'keep left to turn right'
The "keep left to turn right" is known as the hook (corrected from hood) turn and it only happens where there are tram lines crossing the intersection.
You're actually allowed to do that in public transport. No alcohol though.Originally posted by stellazio:allowed to eat and drink in the bus?
There are indeed bus and trams lanes in some areas.Originally posted by stellazio:no bus lane there? or tram lane rather..
It will be hard to compare as people here don't rely on buses as people do in Singapore. In terms of service though, it's probably better over here and the bus driver is more friendly too. Say, you have a child in a pram and wanting to board the bus, it's an obligation for the bus driver to come and help you carry the pram on to the bus. So I guess that's a plus for people with children, even for elderly people too.Originally posted by stellazio:so all in all, is sbs or the bus service there better in terms of efficiency?
