Talk:ACTION

message: As discussed,  I have created a new Wikipedia article.  This article now has all the details of the range of bus routes that ACTION currently operates in Canberra.  This has meant that  I have removed  all the details about Canberra bus routes (other than the summary) from this article to avoid unnecessary duplication.  --Chaleyer61 (talk) 09:36, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Martin, thank you again for the feedback.  I agree with your suggestions.  As far as I can tell, there is no Wikipedia reference to Deane's and the reference to Transborder Express is quite brief.  For the purposes of the Canberra bus routes article, I will only cover those routes that actually offer journeys within the ACT.  - Bob aka --Chaleyer61 (talk) 02:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Bidgee, I've removed '(Civic)' from the info box because it is incorrect information - Civic is not a suburb of Canberra. Instead I've added a statement in the Infrastructure section stating that Signage calls it Civic Bus Interchange, however ACTION always refers to it as City Interchange.
I hope this is acceptable to you. MartinL-585 (talk) 02:21, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I notice that the section on REDEX in the article has been removed - presumably because it is not yet a current service, but only a proposed service.
IMO it is relevant to mention the Chief Minister's announcement in the ACTION article, but not to quote the entire press release. I plan to add a section on the REDEX announcement soon, with a reference to the press release, along with some updates concerning the Belconnen Interchange closure/relocation.
If anyone has strong views about the inclusion of REDEX in the article, please air those views here in the Talk section.

message: I know that including ticket prices was discussed before and they were removed, but when I was creating a table of all the ticket information it made sense to include the ticket prices in the table rather than just a simple yes or no to denote whether the ticket was available. Since the ACTION ticket structure is fairly simple and only changes annually, this shouldn't be too much trouble to maintain.
I have also colour-coded the table to match the colour of the pre-purchased ticket.

message: User 210.10.129.122 added into the history section that ACTION was "the first operator in Australia to operate Euro V standard engines (2009)". I have removed this claim as I do not believe it is correct. While I will agree that ACTION operated the first Euro V MAN bus, I believe that other bus operators have operated Euro V standard Volvos (B12) prior to ACTION's MAN 18.320
I am happy to be proven wrong, but would like to see a citation for this claim before it is added back. (All the other claimed 'firsts' come from the Canberra's Engineering Heritage article, so no further citations are required for those.) MartinL-585 (talk) 02:54, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

message: So why have I removed "Registrations"? Because (A) it is a level of detail which is not of interest to the audience at large. Bus registration details (or fleet numbers) are not mentioned anywhere else in the article, but can be found on other reference websites; and (B) the information that is shown is incomplete - so it is better to not include it at all.
Why have I removed the mention of Kingston depot? Again, because the information is incomplete/incorrect. If you are going to mention a "maintenance workshop" at Kingston, you need to mention ALL other former ACTION depots and workshops. Better to leave it out and just mention the current locations.

replies: text: Of course you could always try add to rather than delete. Is the level of detail you have added to the fleet history of appeal to the audience at large? Thought the 'high level' approach without getting bogged down in detail was better, ie British buses until 1972, Europeans thereafter. Mo7838 (talk) 10:49, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is the place to continue the discussion but I was thinking about your debate about the fleet lists and I think it is a bit cluttered and should have an table for the buses instead and you can just put ticks for bike rack etc. There's your Third Opinion.
