Bus Services and Infrastructure

Maybe it was a replacement vehicle from the coach fleet to replace the intended bus, for which maybe delivery/setup was delayed or there were technical issues?

Looks like some major council timetable changes coming with back to school 13 July

Griffith Uni Mt Gravatt Campus stop removed (112, 177): Griffith University, Mount Gravatt Campus - permanent stop closure | Translink

123 no longer deviates through back streets near QE2 hospital: Mandarin and Middle Street, Coopers Plains - stop closures | Translink

Mostly eastern timetable changes and general stop changes: Minor timetable and route changes - various services | Translink

School route timetable changes: Minor bus route timetable changes - Brisbane City Council school routes | Translink

End of the road for bus services to Griffith Mount Gravatt.

Why do TL keep referring to all these changes as minor. They’re not really minor in the scheme of things

I was supplied info that CBL’s 101 and 104 are there and that the other 3 showing in tracking are also from CBL - but I don’t know their identities..

With the amount of TMR owned buses around - I figured it would have made more sense to source some of them for these new services, rather than 20+ year old buses turning up on new routes - as well as a non-DDA coach as reported by Axilya.

Anyone know if the Troubridge Street 37a stop heading towards Mt Gravatt Central is still used by the 113?

Because Translink has horribly limited service updates structure and system. Their only options are information, minor or major - with major generally being only for long delays affecting multiple services up to full suspensions and cancellations. So they aren’t going to label any of these changes as major as the public may think the whole service or route is cancelled.

Public service cuts, despite the election promises. Even though they haven’t engaged in sackings, instituting a hiring freeze and not replacing people has pretty much the same effect over time.

Spot on, I’m on a fixed term contract that historically would have ended with filling a vacant permanent role rather than leaving but since the election no such roles have been available. Given the amount the state gov spends on training I can’t imagine this is an efficient use of money but hey, it’s not my budget.

Unrelated, anyone on the forum interested in hiring a computer scientist? :laughing:

Hey, we’re talking about the same agency that hasn’t updated its own app for ten months now.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the codebase was abandoned due to the team working on it left their positions.

Still not fixed, can’t even rely on the lurkers anymore…

I think it’s all handled by a third-party and not TL from what I got when I spoke to them. Maybe a November update IIRC?

Pity points for trying?

On a 589 headed for Logan Village this morning. It’s an urban bus, but the installed go card equipment isn’t working, and consequently, no real-time data.

Why does Marshall Rd have a lack of bus stops along it between Logan Rd and the Pacific Motorway?

The only buses that go along here are express and the stops are on Logan Road and Wellers Hill, not far from each end of this road section.
