Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2024
Megumi, the original announcement from the Qld Government was that they were exclusively for rail replacement. Can you quote any subsequent announcement which changes that?

Re: Transport for Brisbane Observations 2024
Unlikely as TfB do not have any rail replacement contracts.

Re: WA Transport General Discussion & Questions
Thats very good but suggest changing yellow routes to purple or something as the yellow blends too much into the road network.

Yes. Thus $22.5m could be saved in the state budget by NOT doing the project.

Re: NSW Electric Bus Plan
$25m in government funding - four new diesel buses would cost no more than $2.5m.

Re: Bus Observations 2024.
No Bambam. The yard Linto is talking about is a new and separate yard down by the golf course where all the excess,but still TD owned, buses have been stored for some months.

Re: Hornibrook Buslines
No sighting of 309 and I dd go past after any school buses should have been home. There is a large shed at the back of the property but no evidence they were using it or of any office. Buses were just parked in the middle of a large yard with a container or two at one side presumably for storage and...

Re: 2022 bus procurement
Eddy, I have stated before that trailerbus, parrahub and the maglev, as entertaining as they may be, all belong in the fantasy section and that remains my opinion.

If the owner is anything like the Chinese landlord for the place next door to me, who wont even give me his contact details for when our currently dodgy fence finally goes, the diversion might last quite some time.

Transit Systems was also doing Cabramatta-Granville this morning.
Busways, TJH and Ugo were all on north shore today along with CDC, NSBC and a few blow ins.

Re: How much like railways are busways?
They can also be used by not in service buses using the busway/ T.Way to get to or from depot or dead running to one terminus to commence a new trip.
