In terms of operational efficiency rather than time tabling the 402 service to and from Toowong, this servicer will become a shuttle rather than a service back filled from other routes. This will ensure the reliability of the service.
There is a new 77 service operating from Chermside to Eight Mile Plains via the CLEM7 tunnel. This service stops in O鈥橩eefe Street near the PA Hospital stop and provides a convenient connect with several services arriving via the Lakes Bus stop. This will assist commuters along the north-south corridor.
