Do the bus stop?

The double decker ‘Melbourne City Sightseeing’ bus is set to provide a boost in visitors to Southbank after the City of Melbourne allowed it to use the public bus stop at the Arts Centre last month.

The privately run tourist venture applied to use three new public stops, the others being at the Shrine of Remembrance and in Harbour Town, Docklands.

The bus was using the council’s visitor shuttle stops on a trial bases but, after the conclusion of the trial, has been left to use generic stops with the addition of some privately-owned ones at hotels.
