Brisbane's bus network overhaul disrupts commuters' journeys

Brisbane commuters are facing significant disruptions as a major bus network overhaul will force many to change buses mid-trip or lose service entirely, starting June 30. The changes, affecting 150 routes, have sparked outrage, with some commuters facing longer travel times and missed appointments. The council admits 15% of trips will take longer, despite claims of improvements. The shake-up, part of a broader public transport upgrade, includes route cancellations and re-routing, impacting access to key destinations like hospitals and the CBD. The council defends the changes as a necessary step.
