Road map and station timetable
The first thing to figure out by bus is, of course, how many buses should be taken. Keynes was a slender coastal town with only 14 bus routes at a glance. For tourists, there are probably 110 to Palm Bay, 123 to Skyrail Smithfield Station and 131 to the Botanical Garden.
In particular, the bus from Keynes to Koranda is not part of the bus system and is not part of the scope of this tutorial.
Keynes bus Roadmap
After figuring out the route, you have to learn to look at the timetable. Keynes's buses are extremely low, with only two trains an hour on most routes, even one or all irregular. Therefore, standing on the stand and waiting for the result is no result. Let's follow the timetable at the bus stop in front of Skyrail Smithfield Station.
First of all, the timetables on the bus stop are arranged in chronological order. Different end points and different lines will also be mixed together, very chaotic, so don't look at the wrong line.
Buses usually arrive on time, but occasionally early to late. All we can do is to wait patiently at the station five minutes in advance.
Wave and stop
Keynes' buses are all water blue. When you see the bus coming from afar, be sure to stand near the stop sign and wave at the driver! Okay, not that hard, but make sure the driver can see it. Keynes's bus driver doesn't stop because he sees someone on the station. Someone has to wave before he stops.
It also says on the window, please wave to the driver, Please Hail Driver.
Besides, Keynes doesn't have all bus stops. Sometimes you see a man waving a car by the side of the road and stopping, not because Keynes's bus can go up and down, but because it's the station where there's no sign.
How do you know where the station is without a stop sign?. Well, probably only the locals who live in the neighborhood can tell.
The bus stop with a timetable is like this.
to buy a ticket
Get on the front door and buy the tickets. Because the fare varies depending on the distance, you need to tell the driver where you are going (it's time to test English) and then the driver will tell you how much it costs. Buy all the cash tickets, and do not pay by card / bus card, such as high-end stuff. If there is no change driver will also change, but because the change is limited, we recommend that you prepare no more than 10 Australian dollars of small change. Otherwise, the driver refused to carry because there were no change bills, so it would take another half an hour to wait after work.
Occasionally Superman will come to the driver for a part-time job.
After paying the money, the driver will give you a receipt of the same small ticket. Here is your ticket. If you only sit once, this small ticket will not work. But if you're going to learn all kinds of travel secrets, you'll have to keep this ticket.
Ring the bell to get off
Keynes's bus doesn't necessarily stop at every stop, so ring the bell before getting off the bus to remind the driver to get off the bus at the next stop. If this is the first time to take a bus, how can you know if the next stop is the one you want to get off? This time Superman, no, warm-hearted driver can help. Because you will tell the driver which station to go when you buy the ticket, you can ask the driver to remind you to get off the bus when you get to the station. You don't speak English? Read "Please tell me when you get to XXXX" to me. No place to say? Show the driver a map! The best thing for a Keynesian bus driver is to be patient and find out where you're going to pick up passengers. You will not be confused to pull you into the car and walk away.
The end of Route 123 is James Cook University.
That's the basic way the Keynesian bus is sitting. If you also want to know how to read the itinerary schedule and how to take the bus cost-effectively, look forward to the next step-by-step section.
