Buses featured heavily in the everyday of the city for the majority of residents with passengers travelling to work or school, shopping, meeting friends and family and for nights out.

Services will start from 10.30 from the bus stop at the top of James Street near the Victoria Monument and will run at frequent intervals with buses heading tout towards the suburbs. Services will run until approximately 16.30
