Re: Translink and Qconnect

^ Agreed, there aren't enough regional bus route numbers for there to be a need for any clash. Just renumber them all to 800 and 900 series numbers and there will be no clash whatsoever with the 799 and below route numbers reserved for SEQ. But then it clashes with Brisbane Transport's district rou...

Re: BT Observations August 2014

Quite a regular sight infact, buses from other depots are parked up at Garden City Depot nearly all the time for mealbreaks and between 160s.

Re: BT Observations June - July 2014

T2033 was on a 411 a couple of weeks ago in morning peak but apart from that haven't sighted any of the Pink ones on normal route service.

Re: Brisbane Transport Observations , March 2014

The S B10Ls you see on 101/102/102/122 and South West Transit operated school runs, are operated by South West Transit. The buses have been either loaned or transferred to South West Transit from Sherwood.

Re: Life expectancy of BT B10Ls

There was heaps of lemons sitting in the outside lanes near the V Scania's at Sherwood when I went past on Sunday so I presume those lemons are dead. Can't see the numbers from a distance but I presume they are most of the Sherwood allocated ones. Sherwood appear to be lending most of their few rema...

Re: Life expectancy of BT B10Ls

One for one replacement and no new significant service upgrades due would tend to the conclusion the Metros and B10Ls may all be off the road by the end of 2015 and that the oldest bus in the fleet would be a Scania. Assuming there is actually a Brusbane Transport fleet as such by then. BT seems to...

Re: Brisbane Transport Observations , March 2014

Would have been a bus swap/cover trip. Toowong don't do any southside services, apart from GCL and occasional special event shuttles from Eight Mile Plains when its busy from my observations.

Re: The Metroliners (B10M mk3 and mk4)

I usually see and catch the Virginia metroliners on 340's quite a bit during the week. Otherwise the best bet is to hang around Cultural Centre, especially during and on the fringe of the am and pm peak hour rush.

There might be two codes to display both signs in all buses as I've seen Sherwood buses display both.

Sighted T1010, T1012 and T1013 today so looks like that report was incorrect.

Also saw R1003 doing a 200 IB service this morning around 10:40am at the Cultural Centre.

Re: BCC tender for new Buses

Nothing wrong the L94Ubs, they may be a little slow but they provide a comfortable trip unlike some of the M.A.N.'s that have ongoing air bag issues.

Good to see BT has more than one contract winner, Getting pretty bored of the B7R's :wink: .

Re: SEQ bus network review

PDF Timetables are now up for the routes changed in the BT changes.

I noticed they have stuffed up the P179/180/181/186/P189 timetable map by showing the P179 OB as going via South Bank :roll: .

Sighted yesterday around 4:25pm passing through Greenslopes Busway Station heading outbound was a Busabout Charters & Tours Hino RG197K, rego 830 SBT. Wonder if Busabout is approved to use the south-east busway.

Maroon Glider one is pretty bad too:

Ashgrove City
Glider 61

It appears the desto's for both the Gliders now have the route number fixed with the destination.
