TT 233: Route 140A joins the weekday 'Useful Network'

A quick welcome to new bus route 140A (Rockbank to Mt Atkinson) which joined the weekday Useful Network frequency map yesterday. Described by Transport Victoria here, hopefully they will add it to their local area map soon.The 140A brings Mt Atkinson from having zero public transport to having better than average weekday frequency and operating hours for a Melbourne outer suburb with buses every 20 minutes across most of the day. On weekends the 140A enjoys wide operating hours that also exceeds what most other new estates get. But at every 40 minutes (which matches the Melton line's poor weekend train service) it doesn't quality for inclusion on my Useful Network frequency maps for Saturday and Sunday. The commencement of Route 140A follows a long community campaign to bring public transport to an area that had much promised but nothing delivered in the way of shops or services (even a Westfield shopping centre was promised but they pulled out). Providing buses was made even harder…
