Cr Cassidy criticises the "Walkable Brisbane Strategy". Says the only thing it's budgeting for is shade over Victoria Bridge, with nothing for outer suburbs.
There are very few active transport things planned immediately, and absolutely none in forward estimates. Because, Cr Cassidy claims Cr Murphy has told him, those will be based not on sensible planning, but on "election commitments".
Buses today carry 60 million passengers (per year, I assume?). That's down from 80 million a decade ago, despite significant population growth.
That tracks - train patronage is at about 3/4 pre-covid.
