What do you think? Pros/Cons?

This is significantly slower than the Riverside Expressway in both directions. Even if you move the city stop, which would not be too bad from QSBS it isn't too bad heading outbound, it is still not good heading inbound.

Inbound via the Go-Between Bridge?
Would stopping at CC make connections easier?
The alternative would be routing it via Roma St Busway and Rail Station- and then exit on to CBD streets or Go via QSBS?

The tri-angular routing - inbound via Skew St & Busway through Roma St station to QSBS B, and then outbound via the Cultural Centre and the Go Between Bridge has a bit of merit, but Translink and dwb would hate that concept.

I'd rather see its routing consistent with the other BUZ route along Stagnation Drive, viz the 444. That's assuming there's enough capacity at CC.

A bit of a waste of a stop in King George Square there.

How do you figure?
Really?  The 390, 350-2, 357, 359 should all be in KGSBS.  I think there are some others as well.  Which of these routes are you saying can't get in?

Also, the 412 would not be helped by getting in to KGSBS.  Heading outbound, you'd need to use either Cribb St, or the Turbot St portal and Ann St.
