What on earth happened to the promised Gold Glider for Hamilton to Woolloongabba via Valley/CBD? Council [announced it](https://vickihoward.com/goldglider/) in 2021, allocated nearly $100,000 for a business case, [submitted it to TMR in 2022](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-14/gold-cityglider-for-woolloongabba-and-hamilton-/101149638), then the “blue” Opposition [promised it again](https://www.lnp.org.au/news/lnp-announces-gold-cityglider-for-hamilton) in October 2024. State taxpayer funded advertising in the CBD was spruiking it in 2025, but there’s still zero sign of any actual buses. What’s going on? If it takes half a decade to deliver a single new “high frequency” bus route we are absolutely rooted for 2032. ---
