SEQ Bus Network Review: the network planning approach

In July last year, the Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Hon. Mr Scott Emerson MP, announced that a review of the South East Queensland (SEQ) bus network would be undertaken to seek improvements with service frequency, reliability and affordability in accordance with the priorities of the new Queensland Government. The Review is being undertaken in two stages. The first stage will see an evaluation of individual service delivery partner’s bus networks using existing go card (TransLink’s electronic ticketing system) patronage data, projected patronage data, existing and future land use information and bus network operating costs. The second stage will incorporate a cumulative impact assessment of the interaction of all service delivery partners as one whole network. The outcomes of The Review were announced by the Minister for Transport and Main Roads in early 2013, and a staged implementation plan was identified. The paper outlines the reasons behind the need for a review, the key objectives which framed the investigation and the collaborative network planning processes undertaken between service delivery partners and TransLink.
