already making that step change from public transport to mass transit with the introduction of Brisbane Metro services along our existing busway network “The expansion of Brisbane Metro to Carseldine Springwood and out to the airport is the logical next step to helping people travel around our city sooner and safer “Premier Crisafulli has been a long-time supporter of Brisbane Metro and we’ll continue working closely to help people get around Brisbane sooner and safer “I’m confident with all three levels of government on board we can deliver a lasting transport legacy that benefits
