Many stops and 100 yr old alignment, we don’t take public transit seriously in most of Australia and particularly in Queensland. It can take longer as there is only a service ever 30mins.
One time it was pouring rain, I had to stand on the seat at Eagle Junction Station becase the cover where you wait is like a bus shelter and it was blowing in.
It also shares the line with freight in parts, and our spangly new inland rail freight line will end in suburban Brisbane where they’ll the offload to trucks to transport it 50km to/from the sea port and it does’t extend to the next biggst freight port a few 100km up the state at Gladstone. Many of us seem to think this is a marvelous idea.
Was watching a video of the new metro line in Vietnam and sighed :(
I used to live on the Gold Coast and caught the train all the time as well as the tram on the Gold Coast (was car free living there) My mother asked one time how long it took to come up and see her, I said I don’t know, i was engrossed in my book. She refused to catch the train :)
Another balls up, instead if going to the airport on the Gold Coast they’ve decided to turn Burleigh Heads into a giant bus stop and use buses and Trams.
A decent argument was to be had over should it be extending heavy rail (my pick) l, or light rail to the Gold Coast airport, the new government chose buses …wtf ?
Going to be interesting for the Olympics :)
Is this some.sort of American polotical ploy I’m unaware of? accuse your opponent of being sane and sensible, is that a pejorative now ?
Speaking of planners, i follow

Gaza , Ukraine both seem popular places to kill kids.
Driveways also seem popular.
