I am thinking about how the public transport connections of smaller towns (1000-5000 population) in southeast Queensland, seems very disorganised with some towns being served by translink weekdays and Saturdays, and getting 50 cent fares like Esk, Laidley, and Fernvale, some towns being served by private rural bus services a couple times a week without any translink subsidy like Boonah which costs 37$ to get to from Brisbane on their service, and towns that don’t have any services like Dayboro and Marburg, with the latter not even especially far away from Ipswich, this seems unfair to me as these towns are not especially remote and have significant populations but don’t have any options without a car, and this isn’t even considering similar places outside of Southeast Queensland like Murgon and Yarraman that also don’t get translink services despite not being especially remote. I think that there needs to be some kind of review by the state government into expanding translink to rural areas that don’t have an adequate service provision, it doesn’t need to be especially comprehensive I think just a daily run would suffice in serving people who would otherwise would not have any other way of getting out of their towns without a car. If anyone else has some other places in Queensland that are in a similar situation I would like to hear it.
