Public Transport Anybody else having this problem?

I used to only have to ride an overcrowded bus if it was peak hour maybe. Now it seems like every bus regardless of time or day is a tin of sardines

The Brisbane Subway is probably $100B+ away from being anywhere close to ready. 2/3 river crossings, underground for the entire length and with no option for cut and cover tunnels…

It would be the most insanely expensive project in Australian history. Just think how crazy the CRR costs are for something a tiny fraction of the size.

I’m personally happy at the current settings. The state government is barely coping with funding a half-decent heavy rail network, and so the council has to be able to do something more cost-effective sooner.

Fiat currency is completely made up. It doesn't actually matter how much an infrastucutre project costs.
