A much-hyped partial start to Brisbane City Council’s $1.4 billion Metro bus project has ended just one month after it began, causing opposition concern.
A much-hyped partial start to Brisbane City Council’s $1.4 billion Metro bus project has come to a quiet end just one month after it began.
The first of the Brisbane Metro buses started on the existing 169 route last month. It’s unclear when they’ll be back.“From Monday 18 November, route 169 will once again be serviced by the regular bus fleet, and will return to servicing Dutton Park Place,” the council website said. A service update on the Translink website at 3.30pm on Friday noted the regular bus fleet’s return from November 18 “following completion of the Brisbane Metro preview phase”., which said the return to normal operation would allow it to prepare for the full rollout of Metro bus services.
