Is that almost every single bus in the E-N-T-I-R-E bus network falling over due to rain?

60 minutes! Western suburbs again...

Buses to train stations please!

Route 566 Brisbane City - Windaroo just passed my place 29 minutes late. No notice on TransLink website for Clarks Logan City buses. Lack of communication between Clark buses and TransLink?

You have to wonder what is so dangerous about this particular exit.  Perhaps the signs are too far away or something.  One would have to think that what causes the accidents is people cutting over too late and hitting someone they didn't see.

Police were involved in that one: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/i-thought-hed-clean-us-all-up-valley-police-chase-witness-20110614-1g1l0.html

Quote
Guns were drawn after a dramatic police chase ended in a five-car accident and led to major traffic delays in the heart of Fortitude Valley this evening.

It is understood a driver in a dark blue four-wheel-drive was fleeing police when he drove the wrong way down Brunswick Street before crashing into several other vehicles on Barry Parade, near the intersection with St Paul's Terrace.

Witness Terry Allen said a child was in the 4WD at the time of the incident.

This Sunday (19th) and the next (26th), UQ Lakes bus stop is out of action for most of the day. BCC is conducting bridge inspections and maintenance from 4.30am till 2pm. All buses will be stopping instead at stop 13/18 Annerley Rd outside the Cemetery. They have placed A-frames at each of the bus stops to this effect, although the headline on the board says nothing about a closure, just "UQ Lakes Bus Station". Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to cross the bridge. UQ has no exams at all on these dates.

Veolia Capalaba bus strike organise strike that will hit private and state schools

Veolia Capalaba bus strike organise strike that will hit private and state schools

    Robyn Ironside
    From: The Courier-Mail
    July 19, 2011 12:00AM

THOUSANDS of school students could be left on the roadside on Thursday as a result of hastily planned industrial action by bus drivers.

Employees of Veolia Capalaba, which services 67 private and state schools, will strike for 28 hours from 4am on Thursday until 8am on Friday impacting on 91 school runs mostly in Redlands and Brisbane.

Transport Workers Union secretary Peter Biagini said the stoppage was happening because "the bus system was broken".

"Translink has outsourced public bus services to 18 companies which do not offer a standard set of fair pay and conditions," he said.

"All (bus drivers) want is a fair pay increase to keep up with the cost of living."

One bus driver said they were seeking a rise equivalent to $1 an hour.

I only found out about that strike action this afternoon from a driver friend of mine who was doing an inbound 250.  None of the drivers had been saying anything to the passengers before then, which is a bit of a worry.

He said that they would be running on a limited Sunday timetable with some possible rocket services running.  Highly dependent on Veolia getting some non union drivers rounded up.

Children from 67 schools in Brisbane and Redland City to be affected by Veolia bus drivers' strike

QuoteChildren from 67 schools in Brisbane and Redland City to be affected by Veolia bus drivers' strike

    Paddy Hintz
    From: The Courier-Mail
    July 20, 2011 5:23PM

TALKS aimed at averting strike action by Brisbane bus drivers employed by Veolia Transport tomorrow have failed.

However, company officials are hoping that further talks with Transport Workers Union officials tomorrow will prevent the strike running into a second day on Friday.

The strike will mostly affect children from 67 state and private schools in Brisbane and Redland City who use the privately-owned bus network to travel to school

A company spokeswoman said Veolia Transport was disappointed that the union did not agree to further terms offered at today's meeting but would not elaborate on what those offers were.

The spokeswoman said the industrial action would go ahead from 4am Thursday, July 21, until 8am Friday, July 22.

Parents have been advised to check with individual schools, some of which are organising charter buses for students tomorrow and Friday morning.
