BT Borrows Buses - A sign of things to come

Brisbane Transport for last week or so have borrow three buses from other translink operators to cover a shortage caused by some of the CNG Scanias being off the road.

Whlist this is not new thing operators borrowing buses off each other, it comes only few weeks before the new Translink Transit Authority comes in.

This is a quote from a Ministeral Statement "It will have the freedom and power to co-ordinate services, redeploy resources such as buses based on demand, and ensure the smooth introduction of new technology across the transport network."

The Translink Transit Authority comes in to effect on the 1st of July 2008.
