GRT has been asked to provide a bus to Bingeman's for years, and they've (rightfully) said that it's unfeasible as a successful route. What they've done is extended the rush-hour extension of the current 15, and provided more (rush hour only) coverage for the industrial along Shirley. There are very few crossings of the railway tracks, so any service on Victoria is almost entirely unrelated to Shirley.
The service will not be popular. But it will provide some basic service to a part of the city that's been isolated from transit.
I'm curious if they'll add full day coverage for the Summer season, if even hourly, to allow Bingeman's to have a consistent transit connection. I'm sure there'd be a number of people looking to cool off that would use it.
