There was no notification of bus delays associated with this crash.  I expect there would have been ...

Is this the new KormaGlider service?

Went past here yesterday around 12:30 and they were closed up for lunch.  I was thinking of eating there actually!

On leaving town around 6:30pm there looked to be emergency services in attendance but I had no idea what for until reading the news later.

Something came over the radio this morning for the buses to divert via Allen St.

First day of classes at UQ this morning.  My 14.5m 169 bus caught up to another at Park Rd and (I'm pretty sure) both left people behind.

Not unusual, and not such a big deal either due to all the other routes that run through as well.

Not that much excess capacity south of Buranda though.

True. But at the same time, wait a few weeks for students to stop attending classes and it'll be fine again. Unless this years new students are more studious than previous years. I think  is more likely though.

I always found it stunning that people reported to me so many people dropped out of uni so quickly.  Studying at Bond it was something of a revelation for me - vast majority of people who started also finished, whereas at UQ something like 30% were gone within a semester of starting law.

I'm not sure how many are actually dropping out, and how many are just not attending classes. Certainly in engineering we had a large number of the latter (as evidenced by the many faces you'd never seen before on exam days) but we probably did have some drop outs too.

Left Indooroopilly an hour ago. Just passed the Wesley Hospital. Avoid buses inbound/driving along Coro Drive if you can! #bnetraffic

[Golliwog]

Is it just the weather being blamed for the congestion on Coro Dr and in the CBD, or has there actually been an accident somewhere?

Also, I'd point out since when is a delay of 60 minutes considered only a 'Minor' delay?
