    Smart Bus network
    
    SmartBus is a premium bus service that has been designed to complement Melbourne’s radial train network, by providing ‘cross-town’ connections along major arterial roads to train stations, tram lines, schools, universities, hospitals, shopping centres and other activity centres. SmartBus services run more often and for longer hours than most bus services. They are also more reliable because of a combination of road priority works and the use of smart technology.
    
    The Green Orbital 902 SmartBus (including routes 888/889, 281 to Eltham and 560) currently runs from Chelsea to Airport West via Springvale, Glen Waverley, Nunawading, Eltham, Greensborough, Keon Park, Broadmeadows and Gladstone Park.
