Yesterday I went to the ballet in Brisbane to see Messa da Requim as I am in the choir (just not for this performance, joined too late), which is not what this post is about though.
I decided to save the petrol money and the parking in the city and catch the bus in. Since moving to Brisbane, I have had countless people tell me how amazing the buses are here, and it's only 50c per trip.
They're right, they're frequent, on time, clean, very helpful for people in wheelchairs or with prams and in parts of the inner city and along the motorways, the buses have their own lanes so they move fast because they're not in with the general traffic.
Considering the price of fuel now, if you're in Brisbane in particular, the bus network is amazing and super cheap. Here's hoping other cities follow suit and lower the prices to make it a truly viable option for those with a car to swap to public transport when it's possible.
