Was on a 303 yesterday around 4.30pm coming from pinkenba and took a glance right at the schneider rd intersection & noticed a cyclist as well as a lady walking from tradecoast all the way to kingsford smith drive.She was looking to cross the KSD.Due to the timing...one can hypothetically assume she was going to intercept the last 302 at the nearest stop in about 10 mins....or walk to french st and intercept the next 590.

If a bus stop can be built....there really needs to be a proper service going right into the main roundabout to better service the area overall.
Only adds 5 minutes to the trip.

303 preferable due to its span of hours...services portside.....and passengers can also jump off @ french st(both directions) to access the 590.
302 is also another viable peak option although it does already divert into fison ave/holt sts.

FYI from the tradecoast website under the public transport heading.....
QuoteBrisbane City Council Bus routes 302, 303, 304 all stop at the entrance to the estate and run along Kingsford Smith Drive into the City. The Doomben train station on Lamington Avenue is also with-in close proximity to the estate.
304? And define close........doomben station is at least a km walk and the main roundabout is pretty mmuch a km walk to the nearest bus stop on KSD.....and a much further walk for workers up at the northeast corner.
1km+ walk =  PT black hole
The current 303 does reasonably well around the work start/finish peaks so tradecoast will give it a little or perhaps big kick along....
