RE: Re: Tram rides: 2 September 2002

In March 2000 I was in Brisbane and visited the light rail project team
(they were preparing tender documents. The scheme was canned only about 5
weeks later) and was told that the busway tunnel then under construction had
been designed so that it could be entered by a light rail line from Gray St.
So there was some thought given to that possibility.

Cheers,

Brent Efford

Sounds unlikely considering the cost of building paved busways is
already high enough that you wouldn't want to later spend more on
converting to light rail. If they started with light rail then it would
have been cheaper than the busway to start with.
