 Lord Mayor Campbell Newman has pledged to up the ante in tackling
traffic congestion by putting another 500 new buses on Brisbane roads
in four years – if he can get a Can Do team behind him to make it
happen.
Cr Newman today announced that he would buy or build 120
buses in the first year alone – four times Labor’s paltry 30 buses a
year average. (Labor bought only 63 buses total from 1995-2000)
The
‘Can Do’ Lord Mayor vowed to also build another two massive bus depots
to fuel and house the new buses during the next term, in addition to
the $60 million depot currently underway.

The Labor Party has continued to struggle with the Public Transport
portfolio, as the latest bus full figures show yet another increase
from last year, Lord Mayor Campbell Newman said today.
Last January, 266 buses were too full to pick up passengers. That number blew out to 352 last month, an increase of 32 per cent.
“Victoria Newton has clearly struggled with her portfolio since Labor
wrested control from Cr Graham Quirk in a grubby power grab in 2006,”
he said.
