Inspired by another thread that got onto buses and cheap houses...
While they're only regular and not chartered, riding on buses does give a different view of an area compared to driving or walking. Such insights can be useful for those researching real estate as they allow you to study local demographics.
While Melburnians have had cheap Sunday tickets for a while, there is now also a weekend saver that gives the same cheap unlimited travel ($2.90 for a whole day) on Saturdays as well. This is good for travel anywere in Melbourne, from Sunbury to Mornington to Woori Yallock to Pakenham.
Saturday is the better day to travel as there's more buses and you're more likely to stumble on home opens. The weekend saver is available in a x5 format ($14.50), ie five weekend days with no time limit on when they may be used.
