 Under Greg Rowell and Labor, Brisbane commuters will benefit from a
dramatic boost to public transport that will see new and upgraded bus
services rolled out across Brisbane.
As Lord Mayor, Greg Rowell would allocate funds in the budget for 20 High Frequency Bus Routes.

Campbell Newman’s being urged not to gamble Brisbane’s water future in a populist bid to woo residents a few weeks from the ballot box.
Brisbane can’t afford to risk wasting water.
“It may be popular to offer Brisbane a chance to splash around more water but it’s a gamble,” Labor Lord Mayoral Candidate Greg Rowell said.
“The fact is it took just 2 years for our dams to plunge 21 per cent (August 2005 to August 2007 - QWC).

 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.

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.
