Brisbane Bus Reform: Reverse opposition to BulimbaGlider!

BulimbaGlider



Greetings,

RAIL Back on Track calls on Lord Mayor Graham Quirk to reverse his council's opposition to a BulimbaGlider bus service.

A new BulimbaGlider would service:

    Morningside Rail Station
    Thynne Road
    Apollo Rd and Bulimba Ferry Terminals
    Oxford Street dining and cinema precinct
    Riding Road
    Wooloongabba Busway
    CBD via South East Busway and South Bank
    Roma Street

BulimbaGlider services would operate at high speed (800m stop spacing) and high frequency (every 15 minutes or better) all day and well into the night (6 am - 11.30 pm). As our proposal recycles existing bus resources, BulimbaGlider is a virtually cost-neutral option. It can be implemented within one term of office.

Fixing Brisbane's broken bus network is a key issue this election. The Greens have already come out and supported a new CityGlider to the Centenary Suburbs, it is time for all other Council  candidates to get on board the reform-bus!

Best wishes,
Robert
