Re: Batman Ave

The main reason why the buses came off route 377 was the
privatisation of the MMTB Doncaster routes in 1993.

Route 77 ran until the mid-80s and was a very lightly patronised

cars went to

St Kilda Beach.

But it did provide extra headway's on the parallel routes. When it

came

off, I'll bet the other routes were not increased to suit. Probably
pleased the motorists in Chapel Street though.

At night I think it travelled to St Kilda Bch but I could be

wrong. Sundays

saw a bus - route 377 I think.

Correct and it lasted until the one man trams came along, and the

route

3 service reverted to trams via normal route and the buses came off.
