They're overplaying their hand. This stuff only works when it is conducted in the shadows and it's out in the daylight now.

In the original design it did but the University didn't want to be just a through road, so refused permission.
In fact I think it was one of the few victories of human values over gross utilitarianism.

Part of the rationale for Cross River Rail is to open up the whole rain system. Probably will never be as good as Sydney or Melbourne but combined with busways should be a lot better

It's actually not too bad closer in. I had a couple of years over a decade ago when I couldn't drive and I got around OK. It's improved since then as well. Trains don't work as well as in Sydney because Brisbane's layout is like a fried egg.

Not many customers for coming BACK from the Bayside on a Friday afternoon. Previously mentioned stiff breeze is the clue. Also it's the retirement zone for Brisbane City.
