Pretty cool implementation for tourists flying to the GC. When I lived in London, the double decker buses never ceased to intrigue me, so I can only imagine that rocking up to the bus stop from the airport only to march onto a two-level GC bus will be exciting for everyone else, too. Plus the added space and capacity is obviously great for busy days, especially with many new routes having been announced lately.Just on the Gold Coast news that the 777 bus route will now run double decker buses up and down the Gold Coast Highway from Gold Coast Airport to Broadbeach South tram station. It will include 7 stops and will take an estimated 31 minutes to travel the whole route. Each double decker bus can hold just over 100 people as opposed to the single decker buses that can only hold 50 patrons. Sounds like this is the first of the rapid bus network routes that will eventually be replaced by light rail extensions.
