    Buses are the worst (actually, pneumatic tyred ‘trams’ are the worst)

    Trains are great though.

      yeah tbh i was being a bit hyperbolic, i don’t mind my train trip to work despite it being slow af

      but it would take an insane public transport network to service south east queensland, until we find an infinite money glitch it’s only going to be used for a minimum viable amount of very popular trips, eg between brisbane and the gold coast and soon the sunshine coast

      but for example if you want to go to crows nest from brisbane there will never be a train that goes that way because of low numbers

        Brisbane was built by car users for car users. If you go to central Melbourne, that’s a great place to catch the tram because it was built for the tram. On the other hand, the Melbourne suburbs stink ass because they were built after cars became popular.
