    Posted in Victoria » If V/Line became V/Bus

    Interstate coach services (example Firefly) have timetabled into their timetables 30+ minute rest stop breaks every 4 hours or so.
    And they don't provide complimentary 'snack packs' (as far as I am aware).

    There are hardly any V/Line intrastate coach services (purely within Victoria) of 4 hours or more, so rest stops aren't necessary.

    But of those listed as V/Line interstate services of 4 hours or more, Melbourne to Adelaide-Daylink for example http://www.vline.com.au/pdf/timetables/adelaide-melbourne.pdf/adelaide-melbourne,  30+ minute rest stops are provided. So there is no need to provide complimentary 'snack packs'.

    Added value products are really only worth considering for services that include Business/First class seating, and V/Line does not offer Business/First class options on their coach services.
