>>1662615I was looking at the policies at the Tasmanian election and neither party put anything up front beyond "looking into" a northern high-frequency transport corridor in Hobart, it's honestly amazing how sad the public transit network in Tasmania is considering it was basically the original green state before the ACT yuppies and yimbies took the crown
>>1662588The SEQ rail network is expansive i will admit but in terms of network coverage it's basically proto-HSR in the fact that all it serves is bussing people from the major population hotspots to Brisbane and back.
Unless you live in Zone 1 of Brisbane you can't really get anywhere of value and even then there's only a dozen stations that really take you anywhere of value. The only good stations are central, FV, roma street, toowong, milton, south brisbane, southbank, indooroopilly, park road and the two airport stations. All other stations just exist in suburbia or are too far away from actual points of business to be convienient to travel by train, you can get to more worthwhile places on the busway than on the rail network sadly.
I'm glad CRR is being built to be fair since it'll unlock three really useful areas to travel to on the rail network (The gabba, brisbane city and exhibition) but outside of that there really needs to be an east west link between Hamilton and Indooroopilly to carry people to more useful points in the city
