of course mate
have to listen to my town planning buddy from uni lol

to soul
thx for the advice
personally, i dont really know much about the inner-western suburbs and the northern suburbs
hence the subways are more servecing the south, east and with spam's advice, the outer-west regions

If Brisbane had a good Subway as suggested above, the busways (East, North, Inner-North, South East and West) and a monorail or light rail around the CBD area with one single payment system (Go Card - a working one though), we'd be the envy of Australia.

I'd also put an express route between surfers paradise and the CBD following the route of the M1 (high speed train), but first things first

haha my subway system isint that good
the others are probably better than mine

IF one of the transport planners came on SSL and looked at the map and adopted one of our plans
i would be so happy its not funny haha

Unfortunately it doesn't and probably never will happen

Red tape and beurocracy. Two words you need to learn quickly in government circles.

P.S. I was referring to your design being a good starting point. Of course a full feasability study and plan by the appropriate experts would have differences.

Sometimes I wonder if we need a new style of government... to cut all this red tape. I've studied a bit on Queensland legislation this year regarding the environment and it shocks me at the amount of acts that are actually needed. With some acts overlapping others, then you've got management plans FOR the acts and the list goes on. I'm sick of it.

Looks like the LNP party have a new promise... that they will "consider" an underground. Sounds like an echo of what Labour have previously stated. If they did indeed set aside 7 billion dollars, they should immediately start preliminary planning stages before it costs double in ten years. Anna! We need this!! no more drawings
