  2. New details from the Queensland inquiry suggest the CFMEU may have tried to influence who got contracts for the Cross River Rail project. This could have made the project cost more money.

  3. Gold Coast will get 3 infill train stations - good.

    The land reserve for the 3rd (express) track in Hope Island was taken for a motorway - bad.

    Each station will have hundreds of free car spaces, listed as public transport investment - 2x bad.

    ...and almost no active transport infrastructure: no seamless connectivity, no proper bike garages - also bad.

    The attached photos are from a leaflet about the Pimpama station.

  8. Clickbait title, good content.
    Features Robert Dow (#RailBackOnTrack).
    The #CrossRiverRail project is good.
    The "Brisbane Metro" replaces shorter diesel buses with longer electric ones on existing busways, that already have good frequency.
    #Brisbane like #GoldCoast is a car city: only 10% and 5% of trips are by #PublicTransport, about 1% by #bike. Walking is penalized with long waits at almost every crossing. All levels of government continue to prioritise car projects.
