I lived in the Hills District for a while and had to use the M2 bus as my means of transport and I was pleasantly surprised. I used to get on at the last stop out in the 'burbs and get off first stop in the city so I did miss a lot of the traffic but it was great zipping down the bus lane past cars that looked like they were almost still.
Peak hour buses were regular although there was the odd time we'd be left stranded and services run through the night so if I'd have a drink after work I could get home quite easily and didn't have to fork out for a cab.
I know road works are happening for the next year so that can really.. really slow up the process but all in all the M2 bus is quite a good mode of transport. I can't believe I'm saying it! read more
