I've noticed that the timetables for the proposed new routes (due to 
start on Sept 28) have been removed from the Civic and Woden Interchanges 
(haven't visited the others recently).  

However, two days ago I noticed that roadwork on Athllon Drive (for one 
of the new Intertown stops) was continuing. 

The new timetables are not perfect (eg 75, 90, 105 or 120 min headways on 
Sundays and evenings on some routes), but they are an improvement over 
what we have now in many respects. 

As an attempt to reverse the patronage falls/service reductions over the 
last several years, it would be a pity if the new routes/timetables 
aren't given a chance to work.
