Last week on my blog I noted that the logical place for bus lanes is Footscray Road - it's the widest section of road (3 lanes inbound), but also usually the most congested.
Still the case this morning.

The traffic on the "express" route from Flagstaff to Sunshine this afternoon has been so bad that Google Maps reckons it's faster to go via the Ring Road.
Speaking to Joy FM about this shortly.

Plenty of people heading to the footy on the train tonight. I wonder how many of them realise they’ll be on replacement buses coming home.

I think we're at the point where a map like this is needed for and , with a time selector, given so much happening at any given time.
Currently you get a wall of text, or best case scenario, a wall of calendar items, making it very difficult to see if your journey is affected or not.
