Buslines tells the stories of the people and businesses that line major bus routes in Melbourne. In our public transport system, buses tend to be found in the outer suburbs – areas that are unfairly forgotten and stigmatised in metropolitan media coverage. This podcast seeks to change this. Through short episodes comprised of interviews with the faces of local businesses, we aim to immerse you in the diverse and vibrant communities that line these bus routes. In each episode, we want you to feel as though you’re taking the bus down that road.
