You’d think after so long in opposition they might try a different approach.
There’s plenty of opportunities for local community outrage politics to be had from all the areas that are poorly serviced or not served at all by decent feeder services.

I still wish they’d change the name. A part of me will hate it so long as the name is wrong.

Go with HESS’ terminology and call it the Brisbane LighTram! 
I reckon ‘Brisbane Betro’ is a better name for ‘Brisbane Metro’.
- ‘Betro’ could be a mash up of Bus and Metro
- Alliterates with Brisbane as well: ‘Brisbane Betro’
- Also you BET its a metro

BUS works for me

Just using the term ‘Bus’ doesn’t indicate what kind of bus service it is. Is it a high-capacity, turn-up-and-go, full right-of-way bus (Betro), a major trunk route bus (BUZ), or generic bus route?
Just like how train services in Queensland are classed into ‘CityTrain’ ‘TravelTrain’, it would be good if busses could be classed in the same way, especially considering that there are many more different types of bus services compared to train services.

Having a goofy bus named ‘Metro’ and having a legit metro named ‘BUS’. How much more Brisbane could things get?

Or other
My guess is either of the dates in the school holidays being 22 or 29 SEP.
7 Oct could be too busy on the network for a initial opening.
27 Oct could be the latest date I reckon.

Another brisbane metro frequency masterclass. Waited over 10 minutes for an m2 at romastreet at 6pm. In that time 5 m1 or “not in services” went past.
Not saying 10 minutes is a long time to wait. But it is twice the expected waiting time
