Greens' Light rail proposal the best for Brisbane

Labor and Liberal have still failed to produce a transport plan to rival the Greens' comprehensive light rail proposal for Brisbane. Lord Mayoral Candidate Jo Bragg released the Greens' light rail plan late last year and the Greens are still the only party to have shown real vision for Brisbane. Labor and Liberal remain locked in useless tunnel vision.

The Greens' proposal, which will service suburbs in the west, north-west, north, south-east and south of Brisbane is far more cost-effective than the TransApex road proposal and is the only plan that addresses the short and long term transport issues facing Brisbane.

Greens launch Brisbane Light Rail initiative

"Liberal and Labor have failed on public transport because they want everyone using congested toll roads so the tunnel operators can make their billions"

"The current Council administration have squandered their opportunities to improve Brisbane's transport system"

"Newman and Hinchliffe have actively degraded our public transport service by removing transit lanes and failing to buy enough buses"

"The Greens are the only party serious about reducing congestion and offering transport solutions for the suburbs"

"This plan offers far better value for money than Labor and Liberal's disastrous TransApex"

"The plan would be implemented over a 15 year period in cooperation with the State Government"
