but would you create an entirely new system? or just link it to our existing heavy rail??
Light rail solves all problems the inner city is currently experiencing... Its a hop on hop off solution which is cheap, it can run on busways, is much more visually and physically appealing to commuters, will reduce car dependency in the inner city... buses do not.
I think we would be stupid not to implicate a light rail system in Brisbane. Look how successful Melbourne's system is... of course there's is and will always be much bigger but Trams are the best form of transport for a city like Brisbane.
Yes, a metro would be good... but it would not be financially viable for another 50 so years. Light rail is.
