The route league table
The 20 worst scoring bus routes in Melbourne
Ranked by what the route itself does, not what its stops inherit from their surroundings. Routes need at least 5,000 people in catchment and 6 weekday trips to qualify, so school runs and flexi-routes can't skew the list. Every number reproduces from the methodology page.
