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’Keefe 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.

77 (Chermside to Eight Mile Plains)
• Minor timetable changes
• Extra stop at O'Keefe Street, Woolloongabba to service the Princess Alexandra Hospital
