You pretty much summed it up. Brisbane has great biking infrastructuce sometimes and scary roads for biking everywhere else. If they do bring in 30K speed limits they should also allow ebikes to be limited to 30Kph instead of 25 otherwise what is the point cars will drive faster than 30 and bikes will still be considered in the way.

With all due respect the whole Christmas season in Brisbane is very very dull and plain simple by seen just a tall christmas tree with visual kids lights show against a wall and the rest is just plain boring no christmas spirit around the queen street mall.... And if there is.. its just a metalic cone that resemble a christmas tree with a cartoon looking figuire..... Seriously i dont think queensland knows how to make a better true christmas for everyone not even for adults ? It always seems just kids... then you come across that every adult is so so sensitivity against youth crimes..... adults smoking here because there are kids there.. you cant be in a kids park because theres kids.. as if kids only rule but the rest of adults are like ant slaves. Dont take my word. But look out the picture frame and see the most rediculous laws australia has... Just rediculous... Many other countries do 100% way better christmas displays and free shows. If you can see that christmas decoration in brisbane looks so boring and dull.. you can see why the rest if as bad as not knowing how to bring true christmas alive other then baricate a park with a fence because now they force you to pay to get in or not get in.... This is a prison country. Well... thats what i heard... it feels like that. I mean i love brisbane i be back soon. I like your videos and everyone else. But im arguing about the poor graded of displaying events and the dull that has that boring feeling. Remember months ago i told you when i visited Brisbane i stay in the hotel and when i came out for a walk there was nothing out side shops all closed.. No one walking about other then a young lady with her dog walking about at southbank. Then brisbane let me know by making me go back to the hotel to watch tv and when i watch tv it was all just american shows and american serious. Nothing australian that has no feelings what so ever. Try figuire that out. its no wonder why the Aboriginals are not very happy with thew white ones.

Great video! Another issue which wasn’t discussed in the video is the terrible states of our paths and walkways, especially in areas with high development where we have ended up with a hodgepodge of different materials of varying quality being mixed together. It would be great to see a video focusing on the underlying reason we have such a car centric culture in Australia - which really boils down to the lack of density and increased urban sprawl as we all want to aspire to our “Australian Dream” of a house with a lawn and big garage where we can park our cars.

One point that was not raised is that Brisbane is a CBD centric business hub, which is a major mistake imo. More and more high rises are going up in the CBD forcing even more demand on the already over-utilised traffic network. If the businesses located in the CBD were instead relocated to hubs all around the greater city then the roads would be better utilised / be more efficient, which in turn would pass on the benefits to all parts of life.

It's great to see you guys putting effort into this. 50c transport fares is also incredibly brave move. As I''m from Sydney, whenever I go to Brisbane and Gold Coast I just love how well maintained the roads are and behaviour of drivers (i.e. speeding is very rare to see). We (NSW) have a lot to learn from you guys and only recently I heard we're going to allow e-scooters finally. I've always wanted to ride these for quick trips to the shops where parking a car is the worst part of the experience.
@BrisbaneChannel
@BrisbaneChannel 4 күн бұрын
As far as the behaviour of the drivers goes, you may have been lucky. Speeding is certainly not rare, nor is people going ten to twenty k's below the limit. And don't get me started on indicating! Not sure if it's gotten worse down there, but I did grow up in NSW and spent about seven years of my adult life there as well (both in a country town in northern NSW and in Sydney), so I think I am reasonably qualified to compare the two, and I've found there to be a higher proportion of bad drivers up here. I'm glad to hear e-scooters may be able to be adopted down there. There's some teething problems here, and I do think there needs to be more education and enforcement of laws around safe riding, but there's so much potential for them to be a positive thing.

I enjoy the content-thank you. However, I am concerned about any loss of vehicular access to the CBD and its surroundings as I am disabled and rely on being able to access the city and find adequate parking. I have noticed over the years a marked reduction in proper disabled parking, with considered easy access. As I discovered recently when I had to visit the Brisbane council, the disabled parking under King George Square is approximately 50 metres from the lift, and the distance to the council is over 120 metres. I also note that the disabled bay, which was next to the Queen Street Mall entrance, has been relocated much further along the street, making it totally impractical. Perhaps you might consider doing a piece on what the government, city, state and federal are doing to accommodate the needs of a disabled and ageing population when it comes to city and building access. Till then keep up the good work.

I'd love to see those tradies going on their jobs on bicycles in the morning. What percentage of people in Brisbane are actually office workers who can take showers at the workplace? What about parents dropping off in and picking up their kids from kindies and schools? And what percentage of them are taking public transport? Bicycles are not going to solve any problem at all because there is only a tiny proportion of population who can actually use them.

Really all this talk of public transport, personal transport, car transport is not going to solve the problem of commute times. People commute for a reason, and until there is social change that reduces the need to commute such distances it is just going to get worse. The population density of Brisbane is about 350 per sq km, Cities with great public transport have densities in the thousands. NYC for example 29,000. We need a large reduction in the commute distances by structural change in where we work, where we shop, where we get our services. 350 people per sq km can't afford the transport network that people dream of.

Lower speed limits will not fix the problem. You want people to leave their car at home, and that means getting people who live 20-30ks or more out to have an efficient, fast and easy way to work and back, and if it storm in the afternoon, have a backup to get home again. Biking in Europe works, for various reasons. Very good public transport and well connected transport on high frequency. You can take the bus, the train, the subway, a bike. In most Euro cities you can walk less than 1 city block and be at a metro station. Here I live in morningside, 4km from city, and on a friday, if I wanted to go into the city to a bar, to eat out, to clubs, the latest bus I can take is 7pm, anything after that there is no option, but to take the car or an expensive taxi. Taxi fairs is out of this world expensive. A uber from Kangaroo Point to my place is $25, I could have walked the 3km if I wanted to. What do you do with the bike once you in the city or wherever? Do you leave it on the pavement? is there a bike rack/park? And what do you with the stupid helmet our laws require us to wear? Europe does not require helmets for push bikes, escooters, ebikes etc. The buildings have several bike racks in many locations where you can park a bike. Where is that in Brisbane? In Europe the train stations, bus stations etc, have places to keep bikes so it makes transfer between your bike and public transport easy, instead of putting the bike on the bus or train and many europeans have several bikes on their name kept at several locations. So you want transfer stations or places close to reliable well serviced bus and train depots, so people can transfer there to/from their walking/biking to public transport. You want people to walk? No pedestrian will walk for more than 2km and even that is pushing the limits. So what other transport method will they then use? Bikes? Easy and cheap bike rentals? Bus? train? What about people who can't get onto a bike? There are tons of pedestrians in Africa and in Europe simply because they rely on Busses, trains to get them mostly where they need to be reliably, and that is not the case for Brisbane. Here bikes is a recreational tool for those who like exercise, no more than that. The whole idea of lower speed limits for "safety" is ridiculous. If you going to limit anything under 40, you might as well just block off the road to cars all together. I don't feel unsafe at all crossing roads here even with cars going 60, when back in africa, all local roads and streets is 60 and you have literally 100s of people jay walking in the middle of the street cris crossing. In Australia the anal police will book you a ticket if you did not cross the road at the traffic light or a designated crossing, so where then is the argument for reducing the speed limit then? If you do allow people to freely cross the road anywhere when it is safe to do so, then that is fine. And I emphasise, it is the responsibility of teachers and parents to educate people how to cross a road safely, and simply change a law which says whatever is in front of you have right of way, does not matter who or what it is. Cars, trucks do NOT have right of way just because they are in the road. Roads are shared surfaces.

Cr Ryan Murphy is at best misleading when he states the majority of the community are against the stage 5 design, the community consultation had majority of support. He appears to be narrowing his view of consultation community to the people that own property in the streets stage 5 will flow through. Honestly I think the LNP councillors want to say they support active transport but when it comes time to negotiating tough situations they are happy to fold.
