Update on the number of reported bus service disruptions by Translink Queensland

2nd October 2023

For the period 8 September 2022 through to 20 January 2023 average reported bus disruptions per day was 80.
For period 23 January 2023 through to 16 April 2023 the average reported bus disruptions per day was 110.
For period 17 April 2023 through to 9 July 2023 the average reported bus disruptions per day was 82.
This was a 26% decrease compared to the 23 Jan 2023 to 16 April 2023 period.
For the period 10 July to 1 Oct 2023 the average reported bus disruptions per day was 85.
This is a 4% increase compared to the 17 April to 9 July 2023 period.

Please note this is the ' reported ' service disruptions. We know a number are not reported, but it gives a good idea of how the bus networks are performing. Many of the reported service disruptions are service cancellations due to a lack of bus drivers.

A record of reported service disruptions can be found here > https://railbot.info/forum/index.php?topic=234.0

Bus operators are still short of drivers.

Interesting to note the increasing trend of increasing daily reported service disruptions as the week proceeds. There could be a number of reasons for this, for example driver fatigue, illness, drivers tired of doing extra shifts. Be interesting to know the ' official explanation ' for this trend.

We will continue to monitor for the new school term, hopefully the number of reported bus disruptions will fall as driver shortages become less of an issue.

It is difficult to encourage people to use public transport when bus services are delayed or worse don't turn up.  Connections are missed. 

It becomes a case of once bitten, twice shy for many new users in particular.
