To get to Zone 2 shopping centres, cinemas, parks and sporting grounds, check out metropolitan bus timetables and maps.

So why don’t you give it a go? With free bus travel at your fingertips and Zone 2 ready to be explored, the weekends have just become a whole lot better.

Good for people travelling just in Zone 2. The Sunday Saver makes it only $3.10 for all day travel in both Zone 1 and 2 so I don’t see this as anything that fantastic.

Many weekend buse services are poor at best and as above $3.10 for all zones is the way to go if you want to get into the city without spending much.

Not sure who it’e aimed at, but I worry that the people who might benefit most like the elderly probably won’t even hear about this offer until it’s almost ended. Who reads this site? I haven’t seen any ads elsewhere and September is arriving soon.

Nice try, but it should have been all zones if they really wanted to get people to sample public transport at their leisure. I know they would lose a lot of money if this happened on a weekday and would clog up a already strained system. Maybe next time?

most zone 2 buses on weekend like runs every hour or not at all, wouldn’t be my first choice for weekend travel in zone 2.

If you want to go cross town by train you need to go into zone 1 and back out during the weekend. The bus in my area that takes me to another train line finishes at luchtime on Saturday and doesn’t resume service until Monday morning!

i would say don’t plan your trip by bus, they never come on time. it ruined my day today, the bus was 1 hour late,and i asked the driver what’s happened, he knows nothing. What’s the hell…
