Why do bus drivers wait at stops?

It's because the driver is ahead of schedule. It that stop is a 12:15 stop and the driver arrives at 12:11, the bus will wait there until 12:15. The alternative would be to leave early, which could leave behind passengers who expected to be able to catch the bus at 12:15.

Why don’t you need to touch off on trams?

When you travel with myki on a tram you don't always need to touch off at the end of your journey. That's because you can now travel from one end of a tram route to the other on a Zone 1 fare. The Yarra Trams network map shows the areas where the zone overlaps operate.
