Assessment comments

Perhaps a navigation box of the type at TransLink (Vancouver) is needed for the proliferation of articles associated with our TL. SM247 02:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bus Station and Train Station Infoboxes

Discussions on the infobox templates I've been working for the bus and train stations are found at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Brisbane#CityTrain station templates. Examples I've been working on will be found there. --Arnzy (whats up?) 10:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

The Caloundra one looks good. Possible suggestions for info entries include TVMs (when Logan Hyperdome is done) and info-phones (several have them now including Toombul and Chermside from memory). Is there a ferry wharf one too? SM247 23:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Ferry wharf one is at Template:Brisbaneferries Wharf, trialled at South Bank 1 & 2 Ferry Wharf page. --Arnzy (whats up?) 10:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
All looking good, as does the platform template. Also, something I came across just now - the templates TransLink (Brisbane) regions and TransLink (South East Queensland) regions both exist (identical). An admin will have to remove the Brisbane one. Jammo (SM247) 00:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
You could blank the template, and I can place up the {{db-blanked}} tag. This pretty much assumes a author request for speedy deletion. --Arnzy (whats up?) 01:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
My mistake - I had forgotten I was the page author! Done. Jammo (SM247) 03:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bus navigation

I propose removing both the TransLink regions and Busways in Brisbane boxes, and just having the bus nav box. Busways in Brisbane is redundant presently as the nav box has them and avoids the need to have undetermined route colours. The region one can be integrated into the nav by having piped links where the name of each region is presently to the right areas (the only annoying one is the Northern Region, and to a lesser extent Southern due to multile council areas and no sub-region like the Sunshine Coast; the former can be linked to Pine Rivers or Caboolture, the latter to Logan). Jammo (SM247) 06:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Also, a little aside, but maybe consistent use of the Busway logo, as it is missing in some pages altogether or in a different position. Going from the above, the route templates can probably be changed to text entries as the page may be clogged with boxes, although removing the Regions template might mean no change is needed. Jammo (SM247) 06:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
A similar navigation template to the ones used for the Central Station on the CityTrain network, and the CityCat/CityFerry and Busway stations.? --Arnzy (whats up?) 06:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
We've got the existing one with all the bus stations and busways on it, but it should be modified because it is a little big at the moment. Perhaps it would look better if it was consistent with the above ones. I based it originally on the Transperth one, but that one works better as it is smaller.

[edit] Nightlink

How about a page on Nightlink only? I think it deserve its own page. --Matt ke 04:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Why is that? What information do you think should be added? It seems just about right to me - this is an enclyopedia, not an almanac. Routes and other details are provided at the operator's web site. Jpp42 10:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transfer?

What is a transfer ticket? [This version] Where on the TransLink website does it say that a "Single" is changing to a "Transfer". And is 399 Brisbane Bus Lines only Translink service? Nicko6 10:39, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

  • I have removed the last two edits as the thing about transfers is untrue and the BBL comment is unnecessary in its context, although it is true. Information like that is provided on the services page in the appropriate format. SM247My Talk 03:53, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Explain 'Cubic'

What is meant by Cubic in the description of the smart card. Is that a manufacturer? If so, is that really relevant? Jpp42 10:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes That Is the Manufactuer of The System mattythebatty (talk) 08:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

You could have a look here Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc.--Matt (talk) 13:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TransLink (Brisbane) Logo.png

Image:TransLink (Brisbane) Logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
