Some of Brisbane’s busiest bus routes are struggling to cope with demand, as students and professionals struggle for space on routes through Woolloongabba to the University of Queensland.
A TransLink spokesperson says authority is “well aware” of the high passenger demand and there is no immediate plans to increase buses to the overcrowded routes, with route 66 buses already operating every five minutes.
Councillor Ryan Murphy says while there is no easy short-term solution for the overcrowding issues, the council is eager to begin work on its new Brisbane Metro service to resolve the issue.
