You realise the drivers have no control over those screens?
Actually, they do. But I can't think of many reasons why a driver would choose to switch it off.

More likely is that it's faulty.

As before, better to report it here: https://www.accesscanberra.act.gov.au/app/forms/action_feedback

Or send @ActionBuses a tweet.

My bad. I thought it had been disabled like the volume control.

Please explain how AOA sightings are now apart of this thread? The last time I checked this thread was called, "What bus did you get today?", not "What bus did you get and AOA sightings did you score today?", as it is, the sightings are totally insignificant and not worthy of a mention, the only times a bus in AOA needs to be mentioned is if; a) the bus is in a new AOA, b) AOA removed or c) AOA significantly changed. This discussion would should take place in the AOA thread believe it or not!

For me today I got 962, 449 and 996

I personally don't see much value in this thread. I thought AOA sightings might make my posts more worthwhile by adding these, for example, if a AOA was removed, then we might get a more accurate date for fleetwiki. If you don't like them in this thread, just read the top half of my posts in this thread.

How about post relevant information in the relevant thread? Its not that hard!

And while I'm issuing reminders about forum guidelines, number 6 states:

QuoteComplaints about transport staff including Drivers and Interchange Officers should be directed to the appropriate channels at the relevant company. Any complaints posted on board must NOT include specific details regarding the worker involved. This includes photographs, names, bus fleet numbers or descriptions. Complaints regarding on-time performance are excluded but should not be directed at drivers.

Several posts in this topic may have breached this rule. I would strongly urge anyone who wants to have a whinge about operational aspects either send it in to ACTION and/or set up a twitter account and direct it there.

Warnings may be issued to members if complaints continue to be reported here.

So clearly there's people who want to post AOA sightings and people who don't

Those who would like to report them can do so in the following thread: http://www.actbus.net/forum/index.php?topic=4007

If you want you can. But look at other posts from other people to see if they do to give you an idea.

352 (300), and to finish my "Bus HoppingĀ©" day, to make the ending more funny for myself, I made sure I caught route 62 for my 62nd bus trip, not realizing, the bus I got made it even funnier: trip no. 62, bus 562, route 62;D ;D ;D ;D

Yep, that's right 62 buses in 11 hours, broke my previous record of 60 (recorded 30th DEC 2014), and probably p***ed off a few drivers in the process (due to duplicated trips with the same driver).

King of Buses

That's worthy of a what the hell. Just a question, how long was each trip? Like full runs or...what? I doubt it...but still an interesting effort! I've only done 33 in 1 hours before...a lot of them were full runs or decent length runs.

I was up at the Belconnen Stations, each trip was about 3-8, (some 14), minutes each, but I made sure (as I have always done in the past) that the trip is long enough to 'count' as a trip by my rule book. From Cohen St. Station, to the community Station, and back again, repeated 29ish times. It's not as fun as it use to be, but I've gotta get my 1000 buses of the year somehow. I've managed 1000 buses (exactly) every year now since 2011.

Someday, I will attempt 100, but that's not likely to happen anytime soon  :o
oh and 4 of those trips weren't at belco, cause I live in Kambah, so it's 2 hours worth of traveling (4 buses) just to get there and back.

King of Buses

Interesting...
I've done something like 1400 already this year just by gunzelling most days during my holidays and also my daily trips to/from school...I'll probably be at like 2000 by the end of the year.

I know that (some drivers have talked about you ;) ),
but I don't always have the time to go 'round catching buses all day everyday, if i did I'd probably have the same, maybe more if i bothered, and cause I'm now going to CIT in Woden, I'm getting half as many buses as i did when i was going up to Bruce. :( so yeah :( :( :(

I'll be doing some more Bus Hopping again on Friday, so more buses :D and hopefully some more oldies, ;) not planning of beating my PR2 record or anything, just a few more than yesterday would be nice (really don't like the E5's that much), and it'll help that I won't have not slept for 27 hours this time.
I might just add, even though it's something of an almost impossible task, i worked out that it would be possible to get 100 buses in one day, which i know sounds absurd and really tiring (which it is), but it is still possible with the way I do it, but... with ACTION's not-so-good after-hours network planning, due to the last trip being cut off from every route at night (some routes, 2 trips), 100 is made harder, but still possible. ;) I'll do it one day... maybe.

Never give up on your dreams or what you can achieve.
Go out and get those 100 buses in a day. You know you can do it!
Just keep a positive attitude and stay focused on the task and you will succeed.
Just remember to work hard and make no excuses.

No, I didn't miss the sarcasm in that comment. Had I decided to elaborate, it would have gone: "is this meant to be a positive message because I see nothing "encouraging" .

And now I understand why the What bus did you get on today thread moved from fleet to playground.
Because the thread is understandably a playground.
