Caught the 1005 from Parramatta all the way to the Quay this morning. Total
patronage 97, of which only two (myself and one other) went all the way.

largest numbers were from Parramatta, UWS and Ermington to places like
Ermington, Ryde, Gladesville and Drummoyne, accounting for about half this
number. Loading ex Parramatta was 37.

Some people were surprised about the limited stops on Victoria Road in the
middle of the day - they were hailing the bus and looking rather peeved when
it did not stop.
