In the early days of smartbus route 888/889 were introduced operating on the currently used Chelsea to Nunawading In April 2010, the green orbital route, 902, was introduced as a replacement of route 888/889 being extended to Airport West. When route 888/889 were both introduced the routed has had SmartBus statusg which offers premium features which are only avaliable on other smart bus routes.
