Bus & Tram Stops shared
  Richard Youl

In recent discussions on this subject, Route 82 Footscray to Moonee Ponds was mentioned.

That prompted me to prepare the Driver’s View video on that line for publishing on Friday.

Unusually, I kept an eye on the bus stop posts and discovered the entire line has parallel buses, and consequently bus stops.

But what a hotch potch of combinations I saw. The first image is in Droop St where stops are quite close together. This is possibly the best option as a bus arriving first would not block the tram driver from seeing his passengers, quite a risk where both modes use the same stop post.

The second is Ascot Vale Rd at Chaucer St just before Moonee Ponds terminus..

Regards,
