Back to the original post. I'm disappointed the Salisbury to Virginia and out to Riverlea Park isn't on this list. Surely fitting in a broad gauge line adjacent the ARTC line would be an easy win for the ...

I don't think traffic from/to West Thebby Road/Ashwin Parade is going to reduce as much as people think, if at all.

WTheb Rd is used for a lot of rat running for people heading north out of the city onto the motorway. It allows them to join at the start and avoid the Port Rd entrance. Once the ...

West Thebby hotel closing in July.

Phew, I can't wait for that left turn lane!

With the current development of the new Women's and Children's Hospital on Port road, has there been any discussion of developing a new stop in the vicinity of the rail overpass?

The current closest tram stop is Thebarton which is only a 500m walk, but certainly not ideal. The RAH stop is over 600m ...

They're not trolley buses in Brisbane as they're not on an electrical network. They're battery buses.


So. An electric bus that gets its power from a battery rather than overhead wires, but in every other respect...identical?

Shrug. Ok. I'm not sure how that's an important distinction ...

Mods, we're more than two pages off-topic here. A little corrective?

what is wrong with you?

do you completely lack comprehension skills or are you looking for an excuse to project your ideology?

Thank you for your insightful reply. Having an open mind and understanding how facts work isn't really an ideology.

What ABC is saying, it appears, is that infrastructure/housing needs to catch up, before we keep bringing in half a million people yearly.

Problem - not enough houses/too many people.
Therefore adding more people, when we still don't have enough houses, exacerbates the problem and other knock on ...

I know right, some people can't help but make everything about their pet peeve.

I heard it was a lycra-clad Trump supporter.

Why should future infrastructure go out of its way to cater to present development that's not even particularly high density? Is there any good reason why (with trams and supportive zoning) shops and restaurants wouldn't be built along SDBD?

Using SDBD, it's just 6km to Victoria Square. But if ...

FWIW, unless you live on right HBR the buses in the area are terrible to non-existent. Try taking a bus to/from the city & west beach on a weekend and it can involve multiple changes and take 2 or more hours.


What? The J2 and J1 both run through West Beach (albeit hourly on yhe weekends) and ...

Taking light rail down Henley Beach road takes advantage of the existing retail and hospitality that is well established there. HBR is already The Parade of the inner west, so let's build on that. People want to live close to areas with restaurants, pubs and shops not just a bunch of apartments on a ...

Canberra has traffic light priority for trams on its line and its brilliant. 12km long line, dozens of intersections and you'll rarely stop at more than 1 red light the whole trip.

Bored tunnels clearly result in the least disruption to the surface above them. I'm disappointed that once it's all finished, the trip to the airport from the north will use less of the motorway than we do now, as we will have to use the exit before Port Road.


Im sure there are plans for an ...

Also all of this trackless-tram talk really needs to go in the thread it deserves: Buses discussion
