Waiting for the (light) rail replacement bus, Seattle. #bustitution #PublicTransport

Rail replacement bus at Hallam station, packed to the gills. Fortunately a regular route bus to Dandenong arrived at the same time and took some of the overflow. #MetroTrains #bustitution

Interesting. Sydney's Bankstown line to be replaced by buses for a year for conversion to driverless metro. #Sydney #PublicTransport #bustitution https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/train-commuters-face-12-month-closure-of-bankstown-rail-line-20230731-p5dsmo.html

Oof. #bustitution #Utopia

Almost a month until we get our trains back 🙁 #MetroTrains #FKNLine #bustitution #Melbourne #PublicTransport

Good grief. Thanks to the Sandringham line being used to connect to Frankston line bus replacements, there’s a 10 minute service most of the day, but they still didn’t fix the Sunday morning 40 minute gaps before 9am. #MetroTrains #bustitution #Melbourne #PublicTransport

This shelter materialised today. I’d call that progress!
It’s not hard to argue that every rail replacement bus stop should have at least some shelter. #bustitution #Melbourne #PublicTransport #MetroTrains

Today's personalised public transport advice for family:

- helping one in the west get to Southern Cross to catch a V/Line train while avoiding the whole Footscray #MetroGeddon #bustitution mess

- spreadsheet to help another budget fares for kids with differing travel patterns. #Myki Money vs Pass vs Student Pass.

Last week on my blog I noted that the logical place for #bustitution bus lanes is Footscray Road - it's the widest section of road (3 lanes inbound), but also usually the most congested.
Still the case this morning. #PublicTransport #Melbourne #MetroTrains

At least these trains aren’t replaced by buses. #bustitution

I'm not going to say it was completely adequate, but at least they used to give us some shelter at suburban rail replacement bus stops. #MetroTrains #bustitution #BigBuildBurnout #Melbourne #PublicTransport

Morning all!🚧
It's on... more train lines at least part replaced by buses than not. (For a couple, they're just bypassing the Loop)
There's no good map to be found, but there is a summary on Metro's works calendar: https://www.metrotrains.com.au/planned-works/

Pic from Glen Huntly on Saturday showing the excavation of the trench, looking north to the where the new station will be built. #LevelCrossingRemoval #PublicTransport #Melbourne #bustitution

Fair bit going on at Glen Huntly tonight. This is one reason the Frankston line trains aren’t running. #Melbourne #MetroTrains #bustitution #PublicTransport

Incredibly, the inexcusable 40 minute gaps between Sandringham line trains on Sunday mornings before 10am has not been fixed, not even for the #AusOpen and Frankston line #bustitution. Instead, they’ve only added services after about 10am. #MetroTrains #Melbourne #PublicTransport #MoreServicesPlease
