The lord mayor said the changes would ease bottlenecks and reduce congestion, and would take Brisbane “from public transport to mass transit”.
Buses could be more frequent, more reliable, less crowded and come closer to home – though a trip to the city might involve transferring at the closest busway stop – under a plan released by Brisbane City Council on Tuesday.
The new network would make it easier to get to suburban destinations like Mount Gravatt Plaza, Fairfield Gardens, and Greenslopes Hospital, as well as major university campuses, the council said. Three routes that the council said had low customer demand – the 28, 145 and P151 – would be cut entirely, while another three pairs of routes – 124/125, 174/175, and 184/185 – would be merged.
