Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2024

Saw a C TAG on an outbound 227 this morning. Is this a normal occurrence (potentially the extra capacity for school kids)?

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2024

I believe in November it was announced the Northern Transitway would terminate at Rode Rd and not continue to Hamilton Rd, so that is the... completed project

I saw it still had its CNG cylinder housing, do you know if it has been converted to Diesel?

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

Are you sure it wasn’t a very similar bus from Transdev Capalaba? As fair as I know BCC doesn’t do any rail replacement.

Re: Rail and private operator observations 2023

I always have quite a lot of luck on weekday Morayfield-Caboolture feeder services (such as 65x routes), double check on anytrip and they're quite common in my experience

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

Toowong doesn’t really need any of Sherwood’s B8s Historically I think they’ve had 160-180 buses, if we assume all B8s except Sherwoods are transferred (around 105), then Toowong has 105+66 MANs = 171 buses. It doesn’t seem like they need more, unless their responsibilities have grown. They’re the b...

Re: Smart Ticketing and Real Time tracking Statewide rollout

The single door validator has been slowing alighting and exiting down quite considerably from my experiences

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

I saw. But finally B8s have their model. Depot changes too much so I understand why they decided to do it.
Train santion UI has also been updated

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

I have a strong itch the 86 will suffer the same fate as the 480. I've been on it a few times and it hasn't been wonderfully utilised.

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

Oh, I remember reading in June 2021 that the electric buses would be used for a two year trial, it is soon to reach the two year anniversary of Yutong introduction. It's my prediction that future buses will be electric. I spoke to drivers who think T will get all diesels while E will go electric. Th...

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

Actually looks like some drivers are still taking breaks at UQ lakes Stop D... was on a 66 yesterday. Already running 9 mins late when we got to UQ, then driver took a 5min break so we were 15mins late when departing. It might be a lack of communication?

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2023

40 City Loop trial will conclude soon, I wonder what the result of that will be. I believe Toowong is to become all diesel so I'm not sure if they will buy some last new diesel buses for T or transfer from somewhere else? Interesting
