You should shortly notice the absolute lack of announcement approaching Helensvale that there is a light rail system you can transfer onto.

Shambles.  If the PTA was running things, onboard announcements coming into Park Road would advise you to make bus connections to UQ and the Gabba there.  Likewise at places like Windsor (bus connections to Chermside), Buranda (busway services), Altandi (Mains Road services) and other similar interchange locations.  Here, nothing.

Despite the NGR being new I reckon the general standard of finish is better for the trams.

The light rail is really working well now. One of few true successes in SEQ.
