Are there any buses left in the Perth fleet that are still high-floor and/or not wheelchair accessible?
Or has Transperth finally met the goal of being 100% wheelchair accessible?

Stage 2 of GCLR opens this Sunday

With it looking like Labor will win government in their own right, it looks like this project will be going ahead in full.

In QLD most stations have paper timetables (at least the ones I have used). Some stations have monitors showing all the trains passing through and how long before they arrive using real time data. Other stations have displays showing just the next train to arrive at that platform. Some stations have...

When did BCC decide to sink Cultural Centre? As part of the Brisbane Metro project a new underground bus station will be built that connects to the busway at one end and the Victoria Bridge at the other end, taking all the services using the Busway/Metro away from the surface of Melbourne Street an...

Now that BCC have decided to sink Cultural Centre Station there is no need for any kind of road/bus component to Cross River Rail. I just wish all the politicians (federal LNP, state LNP, One Nation etc) would stop using this project for political gain and just get behind it so this vital project ca...

The QLD Labor party have finally released the business case for Cross River Rail: http://buildingqueensland.qld.gov.au/business-case/cross-river-rail/ If you want to see this vital project (I have seen first hand the overcrowding on the train network that this project is designed to solve) actually ...

Here is a picture of my LEGO Hino Poncho (I am still not happy with the air-conditioning pod and roof) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/kkdxn7q_Eilu2o3X3QSZQfzpEUjpnzAPsQaOQ3wSCwXby0PYNKVGYRbTNEsggDMBznwhM8S5DLo7sChCnw3LDxMYtJJENAqo4_0ID3S7Z8j1mkxAt-Md4gK8q0mNHP77BJZkau_Bx3CyKu4HYxek2HR3lLbFrsGRsvs...

Its great that so many of the old buses are being preserved and its great that there are people out there with the resources to buy, store, run and (where necessary/desired) modify/fix/repair/restore these old machines.

Might take a ride on this little guy tomorrow (both because I want to get pictures/info for my planned LEGO model of it and because I want to visit Bunnings Bethania and see if they have anything interesting in their storage container section vs the pitiful amount at the new mini Bunnings at Loganho...

I like it too and I might have to see if I can build it in LEGO to sit alongside the rest of my fleet of Translink buses

This would be useful for me since it provides an easy way to get too/from Bunnings Bethania, at least going from the map... (I am in Beenleigh)

What would your start point be?

So it's called a metro (which conventionally means a rapid transit train) and yet the vehicles are described as "buses" by the Lord Mayor and they are "flexible" which presumably means you can miss the "vehicle" because it decided to go down another street on that day ...

The latest version of the Metro seems to solve all the problems. The plans involve one line between 8 Mile Plains and Roma Street and a second line between UQ Lakes and RBWH using bi-artic "banana" buses. There is a plan to build a new underground station at Cultural Centre and to turn the...

That hump was lengendary wasn't it?....how fast you could take an artic over it - and they loved it....like the driver! Awesome shot as an example The most fun I ever had on a bus was on a tour a few years ago when I was in a very old Volvo artic (B58 Brown Bomber I think it was) in the seat just b...

About time, that stop was a very stupid place for a timing point...

Herbert wrote:as finally it has after my ranting about the Bay View Tce timing point in Claremont - but I shan't hold my breath.

So they finally moved (or removed) the Circle Route timing point outside the Hungry Jacks?
Or are you talking about a different timing point in Claremont?

Ok now I understand it, I was miss-reading the information on the Translink website.

I have some questions about how the Go Card system calculates whether something is a transfer or not, anyone know anything about it? According to my Go Card history, I have this set of trips: Beenleigh to Helensvale on train (failed to touch on at Beenleigh and got charged the default fare at Helens...

Do buses get a priority exit heading south out of Victoria Park Transfer Station through the traffic lights?

Nice to see that I am not the only one in here who likes building models of Brisbane buses

I have ridden many Optimus buses in my time (both in Perth and Brisbane) and as a passenger I cant find fault with them. They are nice inside (I prefer the interior of the BT Volgren buses to that of the Bustech buses Logan City and Surfside operate) and the ride feels good (better than some of the ...

It looks like there are "real time" boards at Beenleigh Bus Station now (not sure how long they have been there)

1097, 1098, 1101 - 1104. They can't be sold off as they run on CNG unless PATH converts them to diesel, which is unlikely. Is there some law that would prevent a private operator from buying and operating a CNG powered bus or is it simply a matter of the high cost for a private operator to install ...
