Sydney Buses is conducting a review of the bus routes in the “inner west and south” – a fairly expansive region including Parramatta Road and City Road services, and affecting services all the way to Lidcombe, Hurstville and Kogarah. It’s not a drastic rethink of bus services in this region though; see the proposed map and the explanatory brochure.
One noticeable change, however, is the new Metrobus Route 30 from Mosman to Enmore via the CBD. I obviously can’t take any credit for it, but I must say it looks rather like my proposed metro route that runs from Newtown to Neutral Bay!
Another interesting point is that the brochure addresses the question of why mini-buses aren’t used – a good question, given that a one-size-fits-all approach, intuitively at least, doesn’t make sense.

The route may be very similar but the mode is not. It will have to navigate through the sea of traffic along Parramatta Rd and George St. A Metro could bypass all that.

I was thinking about why the Metrobus Route 10 is so weird… like why run a route from Leichhardt to Kingsford? I wonder if the rationale is to avoid having to terminate buses in the CBD…

Is it because it’s a fairly commonly used route that’s not serviced by a direct train line? The alternative would be to change in the city.
