The Transport Victoria website has been updated and now includes an "AI Chatbot" of questionable utility.
Can't answer very basic questions and doesn't seem to add much value to the website. I would rather they focus their effort on fixing the many errors and […]

First bus that I've seen fitted with the new myki readers. Kinetic bus 388009.
They do take up a bit more space than the older ones and are liable to be bumped into on account of the card reader jutting out - especially as they are near the doors - but they do […]

Rejoice! The down escalator appears to be fixed (for now) and is working as of today. Nearly a week of it being broken.
So far it has been broken for nearly a third of the year (30% of 2025).

Unfortunately it looks like we're set for a repeat of the 2024-2025 saga when the down escalator at the Box Hill Bus Station was broken for over four months.
It has now been broken again for at least five days straight. No signage or assistance for people to […]

The down escalator at Box Hill is broken yet again! Only 194 days since it was fixed.
Hopefully it doesn't take over four months to repair again...

At least 100 people waiting for late buses on Lonsdale Street on a Sunday. Some are running 30+ minutes late.
There are no bus lanes or other bus priority on what is the busiest bus corridor in the CBD.

Bus passengers of the eastern suburbs - rejoice!
Despite breaking down again yesterday, it seems that the Box Hill Bus Station escalator is back up and running today.
Have updated the counter accordingly and hopefully I can now shut up about it […]

I'm afraid reports of the Box Hill Bus Station escalator working at lunchtime today are no longer correct.
As of 6pm it's now broken again. Guess I'll keep the counter going!

Another Easter, another lot of incorrect and unclear public transport service information. A good summary of the errors is given in this article from the Bus & Coach Society of Victoria: https://bcsv.org.au/vm/public-holiday-buses/

It only took 132 days but a disruption is finally showing on the PTV app. Better late than never I guess!

Another thing with the ongoing Box Hill Bus Station escalator situation is the absolutely abysmal wayfinding and passenger information. These photos here show the only two signs on display at the bus station.
The first is completely wrong on all counts. The […]

It looks like that the other escalator at Box Hill Bus Station has broken. People are now forced to walk up.
We're also approaching 100 days since the down escalator broke down. Still no ETA on when it will be fixed and the conditions for passengers are still […]
