Shared bus and tram stops - comments from a serving tram driver.
  Richard Youl


“Aside from the Casino shared stop, there is one in Malvern Road but it is the only one I know on this side of town. Of course at the separate but close by stops, people wait for the tram at bus stops. I have some sympathy for them because although the signs say Transdev and the route number, it is not terribly clear that they are bus stops. One passenger who I waited for to run from the bus stop said, you need to tell your managers that this is a problem, haha, as if they would take notice of me. Better that passengers make the complaint.

Buses using the tram tracks in Queensbridge do cause problems. One bus nearly hit my tram when I was leaving the Flinders Street stop where the buses move onto the tram track on Queensbridge, and if you have two buses in front of the tram with one turning left from Queensbridge Street into Power Street and one going straight ahead, well once I was significantly delayed.”
