Bus routes by borough

## Route numbering system

Route numbering system is a mix of Sydney, Hong Kong, New York and Singapore bus systems. In 1926, routes were organised as follows:

* 100s – Berliozland services
* 200s – Litherton services
* 300s – Burwood services
* 400s – Annerdale services (some numbers, mainly in the 480s, are school special services)
* 500s – Chaletland services (except 555)
* 600s – Rockleigh services (except 600–635 which are school services)
* 700s – Hermine services (except 760–799 which are school services)
* 800s – Waynewood services (except 870–891)
* 900s – Special services

In 1928, route 139 was the first bus service to number routes according to this current system.

During the early twentieth century, Duchessville’s bus routes did not use letters to signify express variations, fast-forward services or short workings. Letters were only introduced around 1971. The L and X were the first letters to be used in Duchessville’s bus system. The prefix L indicated that the bus runs on a less direct route, and X for a more direct route. The E prefix was introduced in 1978 to signify fast-forward services, since 2013 this is changed into the lowercase ‘e’ suffix, for example, E65 became the 165e.
