Can we have rubbish bins at Roma Street and Central train stations?

Can’t even dispose empty cans or energy drinks off of the train at Roma Street, when there’s no rubbish bins!!

There’s not even any rubbish bins at Roma Street busway station either.

Thanks QR for this reminder, I guess.. :melting_face:

Don’t even get me started on the one rubbish bin in Central station, next to the Maccas – there’s not a day when its not overfilling to the brim :sweat_smile:

If we want to promote train cleanliness and public hygiene, it is imperative that each of Roma Street’s train platforms accommodate at least one rubbish bin.

Same goes with the adjacent Roma Street busway station.

Doesn’t the bin situation change with the terrorist threat level.

Hopefully there will be bins around the forecourt area or close by when that opens up later this year at Roma Street.

King George Square - City Hall busway station also doesn’t have any rubbish bins, which I’ve found annoying as well.

But a comparable underground station - like Fortitude Valley train station - gets enlightened with multiple sets of rubbish bins though..

And Central station, meanwhile, has just one rubbish bin. At the Maccas.

All CBD stations between Bowen Hills and South Brisbane, as well as the station at Toowong, have been without bins since the 2014 G20 summit, hosted in Brisbane, when they were welded shut before they were eventually removed.

I, too, would like all the major CBD busway stations (from Mater Hill to RBWH), and major CBD train stations (from South Brisbane to Bowen Hills) to be welded shut in the lead up to the 2032 Games :blush:

So they returned in 2016, when were they removed again and why?

They can’t because of Terrorism Threats

They can, they choose not to. Even sydney’s town hall has them on platforms. This is just one of those convenient excuses to get out of doing basics
