The latest news in and around Brisbane.
Brisbane City Council’s Labor opposition remains opposed to the $1.4 billion Metro electric mega-bus project, despite it being backed on Monday by their state Labor colleagues.Two mega-bus routes will begin in October as a central spine in and out of the CBD, with new suburban bus services linking to Brisbane Metro “hubs”.The Queensland government has approved plans for this new network – built around the all-electric Brisbane Metro link – after a two-year review.
“In some wards, bus users will need to catch multiple services to navigate their way into the city despite their current service being direct,” Cassidy said.The council’s public transport committee chair, Ryan Murphy, said three new services and 11 reshaped suburban services would link to the Brisbane Metro routes.Some suburban services to the city would be slower because commuters would first catch a suburban bus to an electric Metro “hub” and then catch the Metro to the city, he said.
