June 8, 2011 in Brisbane City Council, Transport by Genevieve Robey | No comments

It’s a big week for transport and traffic news. We welcome you to leave your comments at the end of this post and join the conversation with your neighbours.

Petition – bus services

There’s a new petition regarding the bus services along the Creek Road corridor and the need for better cross-suburban services between major hubs such as Carindale and Garden City. The petition, posted online yesterday, asks for the introduction of additional bus services between Garden City and Carindale via Creek Road. The chief petitioner is Ian Walker, LNP Candidate for Mansfield.

[updated] Carindale bus station – park and ride facilities?

March 1, 2011 in Transport by Genevieve Robey | 9 comments

[Update to post, 23 June] The comments at the end of this post are worthwhile reading and we welcome you to participate. As I mentioned earlier this month the petition for the Park and Ride at Carindale, which obtained 274 signatures, was referred to the Minister for Transport, Annastacia Palaszczuk MP.
