    July 2005, Number 156 RRP $2.95 ISSN 1038-3697 Melbourne's bus services are being tailored for the twenty-first century, with a program that strengthens the role of buses in the public transport system. Services as part of the SmartBus program commenced on Monday the 5th of August 2002. Ventura Bus Lines in conjunction with The Department of Infrastructure, VicRoads, the cities of Greater Dandenong, Monash and Whitehorse developed Victoria's first SmartBus service. The SmartBus program is a 'cross-town' bus service that will use arterial roads to offer a regular, efficient and reliable means of getting you where you need to go. It will provide important connections between railway stations, shopping centres and other community resources. SmartBus is an innovative high-tech concept that marks a new era in bus travel in Melbourne. Bus reliability is being assisted by the use of new technology, to help reduce the incidence of buses running late. Initiatives include: • 'real-time' tracking technology - to give late running buses priority at traffic signals, to assist drivers in keeping to schedule; • 'real-time' electronic displays at bus stops - with information on the latest bus arrival times; • 'real-time' electronic displays at train stations - with information on the latest bus and train arrival times; and • fine tuning of timetables - to cater for increased SmartBus services and ensure coordination of bus and train timetables. Better connections to trains are offered by synchronising timetables, and bus drivers have immediate information on train arrival times available to them on the electronic signs. Supplied by Craig Halsall Table Talk July 2005 Page 1 Above: The weekday timetable of Ventura‘s new 700 SmartBus.
