We were excited to be part of a major milestone recently as a test train made the first journey through the Cross River Rail tunnel with our train crew at the helm! ๐
This marks a significant step forward, highlighting the incredible progress and hard work that goes into bringing this important project to life.

After success of Laborโs 50c fares, Greens want free public transport for Queensland [and higher-frequency buses statewide & trains in SEQ]
(www.theguardian.com)
Screenshot image transcription:
A Facebook post from Michael Berkman - Greens MP for Maiwar, reading:
Speaking to media with Amy MacMahon - Greens MP for South Brisbane this morning about our plans to make sure no one misses out on 50c public transport fares:
๐ Trains at least every 15 mins, 24/7 in SEQ
๐ Buses at least every 10 mins on major road corridors, including in 25 regional cities & towns
๐ท $4B to build more rail, trams and bus lanesWhen the Greens proposed $1 flat fares in 2017, both major parties shot us down. But with sustained pressure, we won.
This shows our policies are possible, if the political will is there - and with more Greens MPs in Parliament, we can do even more.

Sylvan Road in Toowong has been declared Queensland's most unsafe place to ride a bicycle, with the results revealed as part of Australia's largest crowd-sourced bike safety project.
The BikeSpot project attracted more than 72,800 submissions throughout Australia, and found more than three-quarters of unsafe spots were at dangerous intersections or areas with no bike lanes.
On average, female riders experienced more riding stress than men, nad were more worried about no bicycle lanes and poor driver behaviour.
Space4cycling Brisbane spokesman Chris Cox says Sylvan Road needed protected bike lanes.
"Sylvan Road is the main connector between two major bikeways, carries over 3000 cyclists per day, but has nothing but painted bike lanes, no parking times that motorists ignore, and dangerous intersections," he says.
The Bicentennial Bikeway was named Queensland's safest spot.
