MAPS
INSET: CENTRAL BRISBANE
I created the above maps by overlaying OpenStreetMap (OSM) maps with my own data. Copyright on the OSM maps is © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under a CC-BY-SA (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 licence).

NB: Various short-turn routes operated with route numbers that were variations of the designation of the full-length route. For example, within route 71 (Clayfield - Salisbury) there was 21 (to Juliette Street), 31 (to Ipswich Road), 41 (to Beaudesert Road), 51 (to Moorooka) and 61 (Oriel Road - Campo Road). None of these short-turn routes are shown on the map or in the route list.
