I was heading to Tafe last Thursday and a couple of people with suitcases hopped on the 901 at Dandenong bound for the airport. I think the bus driver in all his good conscience told them to hop on the train go to Broadmeadows and get the 901 from there to save the 3 hour bus ride.The route 903 bus is great if you want to go to Doncaster or Chadstone shopping centres and live in the Western or Northern suburbs. I catch it from Coburg to Chadstone and it takes about two hours which is better than catching the train to Huntingdale Station and getting on the 903 bus there anyway.
I do wonder how our already overcrowded trams are going to cope with the added demand. Lunchtime can be bad and even worse with the single car trams(The A and Z classes)Just read about free tram travel around the CBD from next year. Also, people who travel zone 1 + 2 will only be charged the zone 1 price ($5 saving for full fare ddaily).
One thing I would like to of seen done is extra W class trams on the City Circle. The crowding on some of them really do give tourists a peak our experience.
I've done the 902(Chelsea to Airport West) From Springvale Station to Airport West. Needless to say you get sick of the words "The next stop is" coming out of the PA.The 903 is the Altona to Mordialloc. I wonder if anyone's ever been silly enough to take it from one end to the other.
