If Brisbane is anything like Newcastle then the LGA will turn around after this experiment and say “Look! Hardly anyone used the buses except school kids” and scrap it all.
Now this hasn’t happened in Newcastle, but it would be the likely outcome because the routes are too few and the buses not often enough.

Australia is completely dependent on car culture in its layout and in its sub-normal intellect-driven toxic masculinity. VROOM VROOM! MUST MAKE LOUD NOISE WITH MY NON-IRONIC TERRIBLE HAIRCUT AND FOCUS ON DENYING EDUCATION!!!

We are to spread to relay on public transport. Nothing wrong with cars, just rid of the cities. Cars and big city is terrible combination.

Nothing wrong with cities if serviced properly and provided with good infrastructure.

Cars are a major problem when they take priority over actual people and the ecosystem.
