Although the timetable doesn't explicitly say it, I've never understood why these routes run express between Coorparoo and Woolloongabba. 184/185/210/212 have to pick up the slack and these routes tend to be unreliable. It's too inconsistent and confusing for pax.

I've already mentioned that, here: http://railbotforum.org/mbs/index.php?topic=4353.0
In case you are interested.

Express routes list all their stops so I would say that the timetable DOES explicitly say it.

Mr X

Thanks for posting the link, hadn't seen it before (being a year old ;))

There wouldn't be much of a time loss to those on the 215 etc. if it did cover that section though.

I quite often observe large numbers of pax awaiting for a bus along Stanley street in the inbound AM peak. I would support the left lane of that stretch being made a T2 lane and have 215/220 service those stops as there is normally room available in those services.


Mr X

Agreed. The 215s I have seen go past are usually pretty empty.

Also +1 to the T2 lane idea, inbound morning traffic on Stanley St is terrible (it can take anything over 20mins to get from Latrobe (?) St to Main St!).

There isn't much point in adding a stop for the 215/220 unless you rationalise the city stop locations.
