 The clock is ticking on a plan to fund extra public transport for
Brisbane that will stop thousands of people being left behind on bus
stops.
The comprehensive public transport strategy maps bus
build, maintenance, fuelling, depot space, services and provision of
drivers.
“The clock is ticking for Campbell Newman - he will
only have 48 hours from 5pm today to order the extra buses that will
ease the pain for thousands of bus travellers who are getting left
behind on stops. This is a deadline Campbell Newman can‘t miss,” Greg
Rowell said.
