Bardon’s long-running Route 375 bus line is being split into two services, changing how thousands of residents get to the city under Brisbane’s new network.
Why The Changes Are Happening
From 30 June, Bardon’s Route 375 will be split into two services as part of Brisbane’s largest-ever public transport overhaul. The change aims to reduce delays and improve reliability on a route known for inner-city congestion.
Route 375 will now operate only between Bardon and the city, while a new Route 348 will cover the Stafford-to-city section via Lutwyche. Council says the shorter routes will run more dependably and reduce the impact of CBD traffic. City stops will remain close together to allow smooth transfers between the two lines.
Feedback From The Bardon Community
Some Bardon residents welcomed the route split, hoping it would lead to more frequent and reliable buses. Others suggested adding an express service through Paddington or extending the route to suburbs like Mt Coot-tha and Toowong.
While these ideas aren’t included in the current changes, council has flagged them for future planning. Some locals were concerned the new setup might require more transfers across the city. To address this, council confirmed that Route 387 will continue running as an all-stops service through key shared areas.
What Passengers Can Expect
The revised Route 375 will now end at a new city terminus on Wickham Terrace. For Bardon residents, this means all travel between the inner-west and the city remains covered, with key stops including Paddington Central, Suncorp Stadium, and Caxton Street remaining unchanged.
Weekday service will run from 5:15 am to 10:10 pm inbound, and from 5:50 am to 11:40 pm outbound. Weekend and evening services will continue, with buses every 15 to 20 minutes during peak weekday hours, and every 30 to 60 minutes during off-peak and weekends.
How To Prepare For The New Network
From 2 June, Bardon locals can use the Translink journey planner to check new route options before changes begin at the end of the month. The tool shows how to transfer between Route 375 and Route 348 for trips beyond the city.
Authorities are urging passengers to review their updated journeys early. Bardon is one of many suburbs affected, with more than 70 per cent of Brisbane’s bus routes set to change.
