  Buses in Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike Melbourne's train and tram networks, up until the 1970s, buses in Melbourne were operated in a largely deregulated free market by private companies.
Melbourne's bus operators, from the 1950s and 1960s onwards, began replacing jitneys with full-size buses.
As part of this policy direction, many bus routes previously operated by Ventura and Driver were tendered out to a company called Quince's; however, this decision was reversed after a lawsuit was filed by Driver against the State Government.

 List of Melbourne bus routes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike Melbourne's train and tram networks, which are operated by one company each, Melbourne's bus network is operated by many, often local, companies.
All but three of these companies are fully funded subcontractors to the State Government (the exceptions being Skybus, National and Melbourne Bus Link, which derive varying proportions of their income from the fare revenue collected on board).
The average Melbourne bus route operates every 30-40 minutes, stops at 6.40pm weekdays (although some buses, such as route 567, operate until 9:40pm), usually operate Saturday mornings and afternoons, almost certainly does not run Sundays, and are often timetabled to leave just before potentially connecting services arrive (but this seems to be getting fixed).

The bus bomber was a Hamas member, and a very atypical suicide bomber (older, more educated, with a family), who claimed he did it in retaliation for the assassination of Muhammad Seeder (who was a friend of his).
Israel's response to the bus bombing was to kill a member of the political wing, and not the military wing, of Hamas.
The bus bombing was described as a breach of the calm, while the facts are that during the period of the cease-fire Israeli soldiers had killed or injured a considerable number of Palestinians.
