Brisbane City Council has been issued a breach notice from TransLink after releasing data on the number of buses missing stops because they are full each month.

Earlier this year, lord mayor Adrian Schrinner said the council would release the monthly data again, saying the council had originally done so several years ago until TransLink requested it stop.

Brisbane Times reported the August figures, which showed bus routes to and from the University of Queensland were some of the busiest and buses were frequently forced to miss stops because of full passenger loads.

At this week's council meeting, deputy mayor Krista Adams said the LNP administration's commitment to "openness and transparency" meant they "don't want any secrets" and Cr Schrinner was determined to release the full standing load monthly.
