Services generally run every 10 minutes Monday to Friday, 20 minutes Saturday and 30 minutes Sunday and Public Holidays.

Similarly, integrated signage has also been produced for the first time for Glenorchy, Metro Springfield and Hobart City Interchanges that include route and timetable information along with network maps.

indesign: New Sydney Metro timetables As part of the October timetable changes for Greater Sydney s trains, buses and ferries, Transport for NSW (TfNSW) developed a number of new templates for the provision of timetable and route information to the public. TransitGraphics was commissioned to create the new timetable formats for printed timetables and bus stop information. The timetables now have a common format theme of blue (as applied to the buses), with a new mapping style similar to the Melbourne transport maps. Approximately two-thirds of all printed bus timetables across Sydney were changed to the new format. Over 170 printed timetables were produced by TransitGraphics along with over 920 bus stop displays. TfNSW has also been implementing a new Hop brand for all transport modes, including colour mode pictograms for trains, buses, trams and ferries.
indesign: TransLink timetables TransitGraphics were contracted to overhaul, by way of redesign and new timetable templates, TransLink s outer Brisbane and South East Queensland timetables. They all now have a common format colour of green for buses to fall in line with the new mode colouring system; maroon for trains; blue for ferries and gold for the new light rail opening on the Gold Coast next year. The timetables also have lettered timing points to assist in finding destinations and the maps feature an improved map style that offer commuters clearer bus route information. The Ipswich region is the first to get the new formatted timetables. Timetables for the Gold Coast, Logan, Moreton Bay and Redlands region will be implemented early in the new year.
indesign: AAA Star Rating booklet TransitGraphics was given the task to design and print manage the AAA Star Rating booklet. This booklet covers information on the current condition of Australia s major highways and the amount of money that needs to be allocated to better these figures. One of the best features within this booklet are the maps of Australia as a whole and each State with colour co-ordinated lines to show the star rating of each section of highway. This booklet is mainly for the information of Australian politicians who may be inclined to better their local area of road systems but, at the same time, for the public to raise awareness that some of our major highways throughout Australia are in potential need of development and repair. indesign: Adelaide Metro Slatwall display board 20 has seen Adelaide Metro change from their original geographic style map to a new simplified spider map. Adelaide Metro wanted the input of commuters of their recent use of spider maps and, as a result, asked TransitGraphics to design a large poster to generate feedback on whether the spider map is a helpful change to the mapping. Survey promotion poster Adelaide Metro requested TransitGraphics to design an A4 promotional poster guiding the public to an online-based survey to gain feedback about their Light City Buses service. To get the public s attention, Adelaide Metro announced that, When you complete the survey, you would be in with the chance to win an ipad or iphone for a 5 minute survey. Why wouldn t you? The initial idea was to keep the style based around their Connect and Go theme but to also give it some standout qualities to attract the public s attention. inprint: Dion s brochure To celebrate 90 years of service, Dion s Bus Service asked TransitGraphics to design a timeline brochure, highlighting how Dion s Bus Service have developed from 1923 to the present day. inprint: ACTION Christmas Holiday bus timetable Once again, ACTION will run a reduced timetable at the end of December 20 with a special network operating on Christmas Day.

inprint: Queensland Rail broadsheets Adventures in Queensland Queensland Rail commissioned TransitGraphics to create a number of station-based timetable concepts for their long distance train services. TransitGraphics made this as simple and easy as possible for all concerned - both first time travellers and the more frequent traveller.

To promote the review to passengers and to seek feedback, a consultation brochure was produced including maps and frequencies of all regions in Canberra showing the proposed bus routes. An integrated network map and combined frequency table was also produced for display at major bus stop shelters throughout the ACT. Network changes are scheduled for implementation in 2014 following an analysis of the community consultation.
Sydney Bus Show TransitGraphics had an extremely successful stall at the Sydney Bus & Coach Show this year.

This material is an essential information item for residents and visitors to find their way around the Coast using public transport. The Sunshine Coast regional area has experienced a great deal of growth in the recent past and, to ensure public transport demands are met, the local government has worked, delivered and created a new network that is easier to use. TransLink, with its delivery partner Sunbus, is the major player in the rollout of a comprehensive transport network to provide better connections between key centres and more direct local connections to support local travel patterns. Other transport adjustments were also introduced by Glasshouse Country Coaches, Kangaroo Bus Lines for the railbus service and an additional fifth route of Flexilink by Sunshine Coast Regional Council. Highlights of the new network include: a new Maroochydore bus station opened in late 20 better connections to train services simple, direct and frequent services improved services for tertiary students better services in growing local communities.
