Insignificant Timetable Changes

[Buzz Killington]

With ACTION constantly fine-tuning their timetables and often releasing small changes on Mondays, I figured one thread is best to keep it all together.

From Monday 17 August:

Route 2 departing Woden at 7:38am, 7:53am and 8:38am - these services will depart between one and twelve minutes later along the route.

Route 701 Afternoon service) Service departing Sydney Avenue at 4:42pm will depart between two and six minutes later from Civic onwards.

There are a few school service changes for Term 4. There is likely to be a lot of school service change for Term 1 2010. Currently ACTION Supervisors are profiling every school route, they have around 30-40 to go.

Apparently this sort of thing hasn't been doe for quite a while. So ACTION will easily alter a service to cater for some students, but nobody notices when students no longer catch the school route (moved on). This means a lot of pointless running, I know of some drivers who know where the students do & don't get off & just alter the route to cater for that.

If you download the Intertown timetable, southbound 318/319 services have had a timetable change. But this update hasn't been listed on the ACTION timetable updates.

That is because it is not an update, just a correction. And the HTML version of the timetable is still incorrect, despite me emailing ACTION about it several times (maybe I should try again).

From today the 13:49 Route 5 ex Woden Interchange will arrive 3 minutes earlier at each timing point before City Interchange. Here are the timing points as ACTION put them:
Calvary Hospital   Narrabundah College   Manuka, Captain Cook   Kingston   Kings Ave/ National Crt   Russell Offices

Exactly

I haven't even seen this update on the ACTION Timetable Update page & I only found out after checking out what the piece of paper around the Fairbairn Park stops was.

From Monday 21 December 2009, the 16:19 28 service will now leave at 16:29. No other timing point changes.

Some minor changes to one service each on Routes 5 and 80:

Route 5 departing Woden at 6:17am     Service will depart up to 9 minutes earlier along the route.
Route 80 departing the City at 8:24am    Service will depart up to 4 minutes later along the route.

Hope this was publicised along the route, because it wasn't on the site until today - the day it took effect.

This one is just a bit strange...

Change to Route 939, Saturdays only, 10:46am service from the City only, will depart up to 10 minutes later along the route.

The route directions for affected School Routes have been updated on ACT Bus. Changes to Brindabella Park Routes will be updated soon.

Hopefully when the new terminal opens up they might see the light and create a Inbound/Outbound stop route structure (Stops either side of the road), which would stop the 'Does this bus go to.....' when they don't read the destination. However, the Airliner is partly to blame with their desto's which do not clearly show its destination, instead opting for a scrolling Airport - CITY Airliner A1 etc which just confuses people.
