Significant number of buses are being cancelled because of heavy traffic / congestion daily now.   It is as though TransLink et al have given up.

Network is increasingly unreliable, mediocre and needs sorting. All the P332s etc. is not doing much for progress is it?

Interestingly, the first two notifications had already been removed from the TransLin website as being "resolved", which I find hard to believe considering neither of their runs were scheduled to finish yet - I copied the details from the TL Facebook Page. What for a person who is relying on travelling e.g. from Calamvale to Browns Plains? Should they not have a right to know their service has been cancelled?

This smacks of coverups to me.

Something needs to be done about Coro Drive, just a hint of rain and traffic stops although the problem seems to be the Pacific Motorway.  I work right near Coro Drive at Milton, since the citycat terminal opened at Milton I rarely catch the bus inbound due to traffic.

There is. Build a bus interchange out at Indooroopilly. Feed Western Suburbs buses through there, including the 444 BUZ.
Create a Centenary Glider 400 and put that down Coronation Drive with the 412. Most buses to the Western Suburbs will be spared from congestion as they would no longer travel on Coronation Drive.

It is just madness not to use Priority A Railway - no traffic congestion on that!!

Conga line inbound into QSBS.  Buses queued at least back to the North Quay portal,  seems to be delayed at the snake or T intersection just prior.  No service updates on Translink Web site,  business as usual perhaps but two Translink Ute's just traversed.  Has cleared but now the backlog delayed getting out. Seriously,  network reform.

Could it have been recent network changes for another route, which has meant blocking changes in the runs that drivers are doing, thus resulting in flow-on effects for this route further along in the run? I'm not really familiar with that route and region, I'm afraid, so this is a more general comment.

[SurfRail]

It's been horribly suboptimal since the Springfield extension opened.  Possibly rostering changes have affected that over time and made things worse, but the starting point was pretty crap.

The 522 is simply too long.  It tries to do too many jobs - line haul connection to Goodna, local circulator around Springfield Lakes, feeder into the railway - and fails all of them dismally.

No.  They haven't published bus overall turnout (services delivered) since I challenged their publication of a constant 100% a few years ago. I pointed out that 100% was not possible or true.  They just stopped publishing it.  This is Queensland!

Dismal ...

[verbatim9]

Been catching the 330, 341 and 331 from Chermside to RBWH inbound between 7.45 and 7.55am and when reaching the Lutwyche Road exit of the Airport link tunnel the last couple of weeks there has been significant delays with traffic queing right back into the tunnel. This is causing delays for these services up to 15 to 20mins. With the added congestion of Gympie Road from Chermside to the tunnel or Northern busway these services are becoming less reliable during am peak times.
