The ambulance was only there for 10-12 minutes, but i'd say the effects of the bus jam continued well into the night.
I'd say you're wrong as most of the queue was cleared out of QSBS before 6pm (I left around 545 over Captain Cook Bridge thankfully

). There's no point going on the normal roadway either.

You can't stop at cultural centre.

It's dangerous enough to turn left into the Melbourne St portal as it is, let alone from the car lane.

You'd be lucky to get across the inbound car lane in peak hour as it usually banks up back across the whole bridge.
It is possible to clear a backlog over the course of an hour or so (depending on the situation) assuming nothing else goes wrong. If the buses bunched up, you'd get the frequent services going pretty close together so the first bus would cop as many as could cram in and the second bus might be able to sail straight by. Again it comes down to alot of different variables. I'll tell you now though in a situation like that in peak hour, you thank your lucky stars that Cultural Centre is a Pre-paid platform outbound.
Is that the truth or did you read about it in a Rail Back on Track media release?
