Adelaide Metro Routes By Depot
I have seen on the Queensland Section someone has listed Brisbane Transport Routes by Depot
Would someone like to have a go to compile a list of which depot services each route?
Thanks for everyone's input.

That is one they won't do anything about it, I wonder at Traffic Control Centre whether they know about and choose to ignore it.

I would like gauge opinion on bus routes which are hard for buses to turn right (without traffic lights) and there maybe some left hand turns that are hard to do. A good example is the rou...

Admet 2024 timetable changes what can we expect
Given the Gawler line is fully electric it will probably have a timetable changes and associated outer north bus services. Some other proposed changes might mean extra services on some routes and a possible go zone extension.
