The ones I'm aware of:

555 (but still poor after 6pm & does backstreet diversions)
600 (once again, poor after 6pm)
I guess the GC Hwy has a frequent service with the combination of all the routes that run along it (700, 703, 706, 707, 709 etc) but doesn't seem to have a single "flagship" service, not all of these routes service the same section of the Hwy.

Are there other areas outside Brisbane where high frequency services are needed?

I'd like to see the 555 made into a proper BUZ-equivalent service (i.e. every 15 minutes off-peak, 10 minutes peak, 7 days a week 5am-11pm).
Others: 250, 500, 530, 545, 550 (with some steam ironing), 610, 615 (at least Maroochydore - Sippy Downs section), 660.

Do others agree/disagree with these routes, should there be less or more added?

From Half-hourly to every 15 minutes: 610, 616, 620, 640, 680 are definite candidates.

Upgrade from hourly to half-hourly: 602, 622, 690.

From infrequent to half-hourly: 631 (convert that from a Train"link" to a local service servicing Cooroy, Yandina, Eumundi, etc every half-hour), 682 (North Lakes to Petrie Rail).

Convert the 630 to the full-time Train"Link" service supplementing the half-hourly local 631 service.

I would like to see the 250 run every 15 minutes during the day M-F and half hourly after 7pm and weekends / public holidays.

I'd have the following with 15 minute headways from 6am to 9pm 7 days a week bare minimum.  Several would justify that frequency later or earlier, some would only need half-hourly or less.

For Veolia - 250 and 270, both every 15 minutes.  The 250 would bypass Carindale, so people would just need a same-platform transfer at Capalaba.

For Bus Queensland (Ipswich and Park Ridge) - 515, 522 or 530, 545.  (Maybe 534?)

For the Clark's services - 554, 555, 550, 560 and 572

For Sunbus - 600, 610, 616, 620

For Kangaroo - 660

For Hornibrook - 680

For Surfside - 700, 702, 706 and 709 (services would not run further than Southport), 715, 740, 750 (Pac Fair to Mudgeeraba - split from the Seaworld route), 765, NSW 601
