List of bus routes in Melbourne that I have ridden on

Somewhat inspired by this thread (although I sort of had an idea way before I found it), here is a list of all the bus routes I have ridden on. I will try to update it as much as I can. Routes in bold are routes that I have fully completed. That does not mean I did them end to end, most of these routes were completed over a series of trips. Routes with an * at the end have been done end to end. Routes in italics are routes that either no longer exist or have been amended. Now for the list (WARNING: VERY LONG): The list Route 152 - Williams Landing to Tarneit* Route 153 - Williams Landing to Werribee*   Route 166 - Hoppers Crossing to Wyndham Vale*   Route 167 - Hoppers Crossing to Tarneit *   Route 170 - Tarneit to Werribee*   Route 180 - Tarneit to Werribee*   Route 182 - Tarneit to Werribee*   Route 190 - Wyndham Vale to Werribee*   Route 191 - Manor Lakes to Werribee (route has been extended since last ride)   Route 192 - Wyndham Vale to Wer...

Which tram route travels through the most suburbs?

The answer is the route 109, traveling through fifteen suburbs from Port Melbourne to Box Hill. I made a spreadsheet which you can find here , and a document you can find here . The document details which suburbs each tram route goes through. Data may not be accurate because PTV is not exactly the most useful thing in the world. It does not consider Deepdene to be a suburb as an example of this inaccuracy. If you can find any problems with the spreadsheet or the document, let me know in the comments either here, or on the document itself. Some other notes: Route 3 and 3a both travel through the same suburbs, something that I thought was surprising for some reason. Route 12 was surprisingly high. Route 35 travels through the least amount of suburbs, at a dizzying high number of two. I cannot even count that high. I thought that the 75 would be higher at first, but then I remembered that it makes sense that it does not travel as many as I thought it would, mostly because the suburbs get ...

Minor blog update

 Hello everyone! Sorry that I have not been able to post every week recently, University was catching up on me, making it really hard to get a post or two through. Now that the station name series is finished, I should probably tell you what you should expect to see on this blog. Coming up, I have got so posts coming involving trams and suburbs, as well as buses and suburbs, more spread sheets basically. I may also research some old railway lines and tell you where the names of the stations on those lines come from. You can also flat out tell me what you want me to post too! More suburb blogs? Some stupid rants maybe? Perhaps you want me to stop posting all together! If you do want me to post something, please drop it down in the comments for me, it would really help me and my blog.  That is all I had to post for this week, sorry for nothing too interesting.
