I’ll be interested to see how the outer Link works.
Wonder how long it is estimated for the Outer Link to make a circuit.
These fares are very reasonable. 10% seems a good incentive to get a hop card.
The City Link being free is also another GREAT incentive to get a hop card.
Wondered what the orange and red buses hiding out in a corner of the Swanson depot were for.
Along with the dead hybrids.
Does anyone know how this change in services affects those of us using Rail passes on central area buses? Link used to be excluded (pretty silly really)m so I’m guessing at least one of the new link services will be excluded. I really hope it’s not both…
