Yes, I’m sure the current setup is designed to minimise delays for general traffic on Main Rd/Ipswich Rd. I just reckon that’s a bad tradeoff to make.
Sitting on the outbound 100 or 125 while it trundles slowly along Jurgens St, navigating tight corners, narrow streets, three sets of lights and one unsignialised right turn is pretty painful. Giving (largely) single-occupant cars priority over buses is just a bit silly.
I don’t know much about signal phases, but I wonder whether the lights could be tweaked to allow 3-4 buses per cycle to leave Woolloongabba busway station ahead of the southbound/outbound cars?
This change would pair very well with a new 24 hour bus lane to replace the parked cars on Main St between Stanley St and Balaclava St
