@JonathanPBryant @ryansrumblings @MarkBaileyMP @bne_lordmayor @Translink_QLD Yes, one good thing about the Brisbane BRT Metro is that finally it will force BCC into ' some ' bus network reform. Obviously more pax on bus in Brisbane because of the poorly integrated network overall and bus runs into all suburbs. We need a proper Public Transport Authority. @JonathanPBryant @ryansrumblings @MarkBaileyMP @bne_lordmayor @Translink_QLD In 2013 BCC said rest of SEQ be damned. Not forgotten.
Time to get the name of BM right as well.
It is Brisbane Bus Rapid Transit Metro. Have some honesty and stop setting up Brisbane as a laughing stock. You are being lampooned because of the ' Metro ' con, it is good BRT.

I have now received my anti-viral meds (Paxlovid) from West Moreton Covid Virtual team (Ipswich Hospital)
Impressive, 15 hours from first test.
I had to do another supervised RAT online. Neat system. PCR result still to come.
My RATs are reacting positive in about 15 secs! Day 2, completed my first full day Paxlovid.
Feeling OK, have symptoms bad cold/flu like illness. Sore throat, just a bit unwell. Able to exercise lightly. Having covid vax by 5 helps ( I am at risk ).
PCR result not through. We all need to mask.
One way masking not enough. Image
