City Hall calls for more changes to bus route proposals Brisbane bus routes are set for a revamp. Further changes are needed to the proposed overhaul of Brisbane's bus routes, Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said. His comments came after Transport Minister Scott Emerson announced several changes to the proposals unveiled a fortnight ago. Those changes are restoring the peak hour Moggill to Brisbane CBD 444 express service, the 411 University to Brisbane CBD bus, the 381 link from The Gap to Brisbane CBD link and bus services to areas of Toowong serviced by the 416 and 470 routes. A new bus route will also run along Dornoch Terrace, re-connecting West End to the Princess Alexandra Hospital. Local councillor Helen Abrahams welcomed the change, but questioned whether it still provided the same access as the old 192 and 198 service. Cr Quirk said it was good to see the response but Brisbane City Council still believed other changes were needed. "There are a couple of examples; the 100 bus route to Forest Lake and the single bus service to Lone Pine is another that we think needs to be re-instated," he said. These routes were highlighted by Fairfax Media last week. Since then, Mr Emerson has promised to keep bus links to Greenslopes Hospital, although a shuttle bus service was always retained under the proposed changes. Brisbane's deputy mayor Adrian Schrinner last week suggested better use could be made of the large park-n-ride station at Chandler's Sleeman Sports Centre to take pressure from streets around Carindale Shopping Centre. Cr Quirk encouraged all residents to look at the proposed changes on the Translink website to see how the changes affected them. He said council public transport staff were in discussions with Translink's planners. "We continue to communicate, but we don't always see eye to eye," he said on Tuesday morning. And I have always made it clear that my job is to stand up for the people of Brisbane. That is why I haven't given any endorsement to these changes. Last week, Mr Emerson extended the community consultation period. Submissions can be made online at www.translink.com.au or by phoning 13 12 30 until April 7.
