Not happy! says:

I am appalled with the public transport system in Brisbane, in particular buses. I cannot count on two hands the number of times I have been standing at a bus stop (after arriving before the bus is due) and am left to wait much longer than it indicates on the timetable OR the amount of times the bus hasn’t showed up at all. I’m not sure I could put that down to the bus not operating but perhaps it showing up a heck of a lot earlier than indicated and not waiting for the poor sucker running towards it.
In this day and age it is imperative that we adopt environmentally friendly means of transport (such as the bus), but let me assure you; if the public transport system doesn’t pull its finger out, I’m sure there are plenty of people who won’t mind increasing their ecological footprint for the sake of getting somewhere on time.
I don’t know one person who is satisfied with public transport. It isn’t only the Brisbane bus service that lets the public down.

***SIGH***

sadly I totally agree.. I've even wrote a complaint letter some time ago but i doubt any action has been taken. Another thing the buses do is switch drivers at bus-stops. They bus lane is not very big and when 2 buses stop there it takes up the entire lane and people have to move in front or behind them to be seen by buses they are trying to flag. what's more these areas are VERY DANGEROUS to stop as well. almost in the middle of the road!! what if i had a big baby pram with me and i can't get on as fast as is safe to? my dad is also n a wheelchair and i would NOT get on in this situation. it's very disappointing
i'm sure they try to do it during off-peak times but around 4.30pm almost every day 2 buses will change over at the regatta busstop and i'm there flagging my arms wildly just to attract my bus driver's attention. sometimes they stop sometimes they can't be bothered. seriously.

You's must be catching different buses to me. The southern busway is fantastic no other city has anything like it. The buz service is every 15min to 5 to 10 minutes during the peak. I catch the route 200 every day have no problems with drivers not stopping except when they are full. I moved from Sydney 2 years ago the buses in Sydney might run later in the night but they the ticketing system is by far no where as good as here and their limited stops bus is not as frequent as the Buz service, My only 2 problems are is the age of the buses here it think some are from the stone age, and some of the drivers are so crabby, but most are fine and friendly.
