Generally good idea
Except buses aren't very puntual at all as it is subject to traffic
condition. If you think Swanston trams is bad wait till you see buses.
(Especially National buses). Also buses aren't very attractive to
passengers. Part of the reason people wishing Ararat/Mildura/Bairnsdale
passenger trains service to return is because people simply don't like
buses or bus connection service.
