160 vs 111

[somebody]

Looked up this link: http://brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/fare-cop-not-fair-translink-20111116-1nj4g.html

Calculating, it seems that the average boardings for the Sep2011 quarter are:
111: 35.40071
160: 30.45668

Neither is actually particularly high.  Particularly strange though is that the 160 runs outbound quite late compared to inbound.  Must have a lot of dead running.

Where are the figures for the P88?

How so? Isn't the 160 outbound running to get buses back to the Garden City depot?

Last I/B 160 arrives at QSBS @ 6:44pm
Last O/B 160 departs QSBS @ 9:03pm.  That's at least 9 outbound trips for which there are no inbound ones.  Possibly they come from some other route, but the only thing I can think of would be the 88 which has its last service arrive at Indro before 8pm.

[Golliwog]

I would assume they come from another route. I don't know which depots do which routes (other than that the new Sherwood depot seems to be doing most if not all the UQ Lakes routes now) so don't know what other route.

Unlikely.  That other route would have to be running more often inbound than outbound which would be strange in the evening.

Or it could be some of the short inner city routes? I'm thinking 66, 109, 412, maybe even 199?

412 & 199 would be unlikely.  I don't think Garden City would operate too many of those routes, but 66 is definitely a possibility.  Last 4 runs terminating at W'Gabba could run back to QSBS.  Similarly with some of the 109s.

[Golliwog]

Yeah, pretty sure the 412 is usually operated by Toowong buses, not sure about the 199 though. Though that said, I have seen on numerous occasions Richlands buses running on the 390, so where a bus goes during the day can be quite varied.

Richlands buses wash through Toowong from time to time as it is only a satellite depot for Toowong.

I'd like to see the dead running stats now that Sherwood is open.

I'd like to see the dead running stats now that Sherwood is open.

Just a quick note that based on my obs, Sherwood is taking on quite a number of the 66 trips, which is resulting in the odd Metroliner appearing on the route.
