Getting ready for Doncaster Area Rapid Transit
 The Department of Transport recently conducted community consultation about bus stop changes along Lonsdale Street in preparation for the introduction of Doncaster Area Rapid Transit (DART).
DART will deliver service upgrades to four key bus routes through Doncaster, Doncaster East, Templestowe, Donvale and Warrandyte. People living in these areas will benefit from faster and more convenient bus services to and from the city from early 2011.
This consultation led to the recent removal of some stops, installation of new stops and an increase in capacity at each stop by doubling bus bay numbers. These changes benefit passengers who can access all services at every stop along the street. They will also pave the way for future bus services.
