Onboard displays would be nice, but not worth to complain about. Their mobile website does everything.

Announced today that real time systems (similar to what has been on the blue CityGlider and LCBS services for a couple of years now) will be introduced to all operators next year. It's a new system, and the aforementioned will be "transitioned" to it, not time announced yet though. Bay Island Transi...

So could you get a free trip between terminals by going via Skygate?

Orange. 2152. Virginia.

Apparently Logan City Bus Service has 6 additional Volgren Optimus city buses making a total of 12. Fleet numbers are not yet known. This'd be interesting. They only have 4 high floors left to replace, and AFAIK all their low floors are running fine. Also didn't think they'd have any reason to expa...

There's now only 284 three digit fleet numbers.

I am surprised to see the Scanias going early with the B10Ls.

Whilst there is still a 3 digit number of 3 digit numbered buses left, there's too many.

Just be thankful they're at least LED finally, not the hard-to-read seven segment crap.

With all the new volvos entering service over the last 6 months or so, has there been the same amount of older stuff withdrawn from service? With the big list of withdrawals last month being fluid, there seems more buses in the active fleet. If the scanias are being 'done up' for G20, Eagle Farm de...

I believe they did that last year too.

V503 involved in accident on Gympie Rd, bus doesnt look to have sustained much damage. Car behind damaged significantly, ambos on site, hope all are ok.

2132 is at Virginia for training.

I thought the Optimus was ugly. This takes it to a whole new level.

Bustech wouldn't stick a VST on a Scania chassis, so they put their very last original body on it. At least that's what I've heard.

Those Park Ridge ones there are actually much later, they're from 2006.

Yeah, S588 and 571 in service this afternoon at Garden City.

They'll most likely just be put into normal service.

Wow this looks awesome, can't wait to see it in service.

Shame they went with the ugly seat design though (fabric design, not layout). The lack of rear desto, seat behind the driver and the double rear door is very LCBS, opposite of BT. Very curious as to see what these'll be numbered.

...yeah. It's been non operational sitting there for years.

About time, BT are so backwards with their 7-segment crap, so hard to read.

Interesting article. One that I find actually slightly disturbing.

I'm pretty sure KBL has only ever had the 3 original Bustechs.

I expect they will either be able to convince Treasury to release a bit more money, or they will have to defer some of the high-frequency upgrades in exchange for simply getting buses running until 5-6pm minimum. They have always told me their plan was to get the route structure right and "worry" a...

Pretty much all of LCBS's fleet is Bustech VST bodies.

The B10Ls always heat up ridiculous amounts in the back seat.

Springwood station currently closed for a police incident, anyone know what happened?

EDIT: Nevermind, just found out http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/quee ... 6779641622
