Brisbane:  Light Rail Plan

RAIL ? Back On Track (http://backontrack.org)  a web based community organisation for the promotion of rail throughout Australia has congratulated the Queensland Government and the Smart State Council for their commitment to light rail for Brisbane.

Robert Dow said:

?Today?s Brisbane press has details of plans to revitalise the city by improved transport options and making it pedestrian friendly. Included in that is a plan for light rail to include a network connecting New Farm West End South Brisbane with a loop through Bowen Hills. The Smart State Council's plan for this is to be applauded.?

?Light rail (modern tram) is well suited to high density mass transit solutions.  Environmentally friendly, non polluting, affordable and sustainable it will help to make Brisbane one of the most liveable cities in the world.  The Mass Transit Consultation Forum (1) being conducted by the Brisbane City Council has had overwhelming feedback on the suitability of light rail for Brisbane from the residents.  Now the experts agree!?

?RAIL Back On Track congratulates the Queensland Government and the Smart State Council for this initiative.?
