Missing express bus stops

I'm making a list of where there is a gap between stops for express buses which is too far.

From Woolloongabba bus station to the Coorparoo stop for the 215/220 is almost 2km as the crow flies
From the Cultural Centre to "Auchenflower" is over 1.5km, with the River in the way for the 425/430/435/450/453/454/460
From Adelaide St to "Cribb St" is 1.44km, but you need to deviate around the river, for the 412.

The first one has the 184/185 as alternatives, but even so, loadings aren't that good on the 215/220 anyway so stopping here should help.

The second has the "Cribb St" stop as an alternate for the 411/412/417/433/444/445, but even so, it isn't pretty especially with the poor to unsatisfactory pedestrian access to the "Cribb St" stop.  This is why there is a need to have a stop for the express routes under the Coro flyover which would have reasonably good pedestrian access.  This would also be across the road from the old "Boomerang St" stop, which should be re-opened.  In the opposite direction you can use the "Cribb St" stop, but this is still 1.11km to the Cultural Centre without the "Boomerang St" stop.  If this stop is not re-opened then the next most logical stop location would be near the William Jolly Bridge as there is poor pedestrian access from Coronation Drive after Hale St.

The last one has no direct alternatives, and it's an even bigger gap for the 411/417/433/445.

You forgot the 210/212 run exactly the same as the 184/185 to cnr Stanley/Cavindish Road, Coorparoo.
