Because Australia is too sodding long to type!
Yes!
The Sydney one does look a little confusing, but it also looks liek it has a LOT of stops, which is neat. DC's is easy, but only becuase there aren't so many stops...
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Mathair & Athair beo.
Lothian buses are informationly excellent all the stops are well marked and have little route diagrams.

Yeah, but you have a Pentagon stop, which is dead cool.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Julie ... what Jim said. I write and say "Oz" frequently but then I have a horrible habit of shortening names.
Plus! I was irreprapblye parabola irreparably damaged by going to the cinema and seeing
Oz*
when I was about 12.
* This was a mid-70s Australian version of the Wizard of Oz.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I thought it was also supposed to reflect native pronounciation, since several Australians have corrected me when I've begun the name with the same sound as in Austria.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
A stop under the Pentagon in Washington.
Of course, we also have things like the stop marked "zoo" actually being farther away from the zoo than the Cleveland Park stop, and an uphill walk besides. On the other hand, taking the zoo stop to ge to the zoo is a mistake you only make once.

I just popped some hot cross buns in the oven. Perfect late-night snack! I wish you could get them all year round.
Something tells me Americans don't do hot cross buns. Is that right? They have cinnamon in them, so I'd think you would be all over them. (Then again, because they already have cinnamon in them, you can't ruin them by adding cinnamon, so perhaps they don't appeal.)

Mathair & Athair beo.
I appreciate the support.
Yeah a Pentagon stop is pretty neat. To reach the castle you have to walk -across an open eplanade in full view of snipers archers. Only one bus goes anywhere near for all the other bus routed I/you have to cross the lake.
Edit:Lochs and Lakes are distinctly different entities.
