I think that there are good and bad Bus drivers as there are good and bad in
all professions. Moonee Valley Bus Lines (Melbourne Rts 503, 506) have VERY
good bus drivers, they are always friendly and do their best to help you.
Then there is National's Fitzroy Depot. When National took over, there was
very low Morale, and the drivers were real pricks, but they seem to have
improved of late...
