Hino 2SG-HL2ASBP Blue Ribbon Hybrid #64959
14 february 2019 - Hiroshima, Naka-ku, Hashimotochō (広島県広島市中区橋本町).3: 観音マリーナホップ (Kan`on Marina Hop) → 広島駅前 (Hiroshima-eki-mae)
I began a discussion about variation-marking suffixes as done by the bus section of Hiroden. What stood out was a plain rte 2 in the list of variations of that route. Where did it come from? The answer is simple enough, but perhaps irritating at the same time: Hiroden uses route numbers as simple as possible where common routings or common termini apply between variations. A good enough example of this is rte 4, where outbound departures are done as either 4-1, 4-2, or 4-3, but all inbound trips are operated scrolled as 4, despite different starting points. However, neither the "suffixes in one direction only" rule, nor the "each variation has a separate suffix" rule are applied universally (paradoxically there are as many inbound suffixes on rte 2 as outbound). Rte 3 in the photo is worthy of mention as there are no suffixes on this route, given that there are no route variations.
