Episode Details

Brisbane’s bus ridership is up 17%—and commuters are paying the price, standing packed for up to 45 minutes as buses overflow with no extra buses to match the surge. Blamed on a decade of underinvestment, advocates are pushing for dedicated bus and bike lanes during peak hours, plus T2/T3 carpool lanes, to boost reliability and efficiency. Evidence shows it works: Brisbane’s 1:30 bus route, using mixed lanes, cuts travel times and runs every 2-3 minutes. One bus carrying 50 people off the road? That’s a win for everyone. While officials call for caution, the demand is clear—people want to get where they’re going without feeling like sardines.
