It will perform the same transactions available at most centres, such as getting a birth certificate, Seniors Card, and renewing vehicle registration, as well as Driver Knowledge Tests and on the spot cost of living appointments.<br \/>\n\u201cThe two existing buses have covered almost 40,000 kilometres and completed around 2,500 transactions, saving customers in regional and remote areas a combined 150 hours in travel time. About 300 customers have collectively saved $132,000, with an average saving of $540.\u201d<br \/>\nThe bus will roll through towns with advanced notice, so locals will know when to expect a visit and what documentation is required to perform their transaction.
