Translink has cut three bus routes short as services won’t travel to two stations after dark following safety issues
In Brisbane, operator Translink has made major changes to three bus routes over safety concerns.
From 6.30PM until the last service every night until further notice, changes to routes 100, 110 and N100 will be in place to keep passengers and drivers safe.
For the route 100 bus travelling towards Forest Lake, the service will end at Blunder Road stop 67 and not continue to Forest Lake shops, while the nightlink route N100 travelling towards Richlands station ends at the same stop and won’t go on to Richlands station for the near future.
For the route 110 bus travelling towards Inala Plaza, the bus will terminate at Mortime Road stop 59, Acacia Ridge North and continue to Inala Plaza station.
Translink advises passengers to instead catch the route 111, 555, 115 or 117 buses to transfer and arrive at Inala Plaza station.
ABC Radio Brisbane initially heard from an anonymous bus driver who said drivers didn’t want to go through the Forest Lake or Inala area anymore.
However, Tom Brown from the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) later told ABC that the route was changed after a rock was thrown into a bus window, terrifying two female passengers who vowed to never catch a bus again.
