And as I think I've said before, it isn’t just marketing spin, Arup are legitimately world experts in transport and crowd management. The software they developed is the industry-standard tool for pedestrian and crowd-flow simulation and has been used for projects like Beijing Airport and Grand...- Words: 71

Each location has its pros and cons. Optus is the gold standard for public transport access, but it's worth keeping in mind what's actually driving that. Optus is essentially an island. Aside from the casino precinct, there's almost nothing around it. It has supreme rail and bus connectivity...- Words: 270

I think the bus transit lanes might be an okay stopgap. But we really badly need a change of government locally; these guys are so tired and out of ideas/energy.- Words: 31

Cynicism isn’t a substitute for argument. Queensland politics has its problems, but "things can change, therefore anything can happen" isn't analysis, it’s a vibe. The "incremental and unnoticed" argument would carry more weight if there were any examples of it actually ever happening to...- Words: 60

If a government wanted to commit instant political suicide, maybe. Victoria Park is a lightly used, lightly refurbished golf course right now.
