Articles and discussion: Fourth tunnel Brisbane's west

The study itself states that PT should be almost as quick as driving.  IT SHOULD BE FASTER THAN DRIVING!!!!

Hear here!!  Mightn't happen off peak, but in peak hour I think the lack of transit/bus lanes is something of a disgrace.

Why can't super funds etc invest in PT?
Or even improvements to the freight rail network which would have flow on benefits for commuters?

Investing in PT could be considered a "Socially Resposible Investment".

Because public transport would be a terrible investment in Australia. I think you are confusing "socially responsible investment" with "donations to charity". The only way to make a profit from public transport is to rely on payment from government.
