Proposal - Have a Darra-Coopers Plains bus.

[somebody]

This would connect the Ipswich/Richlands line with the Beenleigh and Gold Coast line in a quite rapid and reasonably cost effective way.  Far better than having to go via Roma St IMO.

Here's a link to what I am suggesting: http://www.whereis.com/?id=19FC768F4EC4FE

Would you still need the 104?  Questionable - perhaps the full time 108 proposal should be implemented with this one.

Much easier than the Wacol - Springwood route I have previously suggested, and probably much faster (albeit with no walk-up patronage you might struggle a bit with viability).

Would there be enough demand to justify a bus running this route full time?

I'd say you may need to connect to some more destinations at either end to make it work, like maybe Garden City or Griffith Uni or Altandi to connect with the 130/140? Mt Ommaney for further transfer? And make it an appealing cross-town route for more than just connecting train travellers.

I agree. Such a service should continue onto Garden City.

One thing that irritates me is that there doesn't seem to be a quick link between Coopers Plains and Garden City

120 too slow or too far from the train station?

What about the GCL?  Too infrequent?

Good suggestions.  via Sunnybank Plaza or Griffith Uni-Nathan?  I'm favouring the latter.

I have had a few anecdotal reports of Griffith students finding it difficult to connect to Gold Coast trains at Coopers Plains, so I would support it running to Nathan Campus/Klumpp Road.

It wouldn't be a problem if the Gold Coast trains stopped at Altandi or Fruitgrove (Coopers Plains is a bit of a waste IMO).  You would then have the choice of the 135 or 145 at Altandi or the 155 at Fruitgrove.
