Yes that's the one - it was introduced about 3 years ago as an inter-peak
Mon-Fri extension of the No 30 La Trobe St shuttle which is now peaks only. 
There is moderate patronage - Vic Parade is becoming a bit of an office strip
like a mini St Kilda Rd.  Dont know about whether this means it will become 7
day - It would be nice to think so.
