Ok this thread is for talking CityTrain (and to a lesser extent TransLink) in SE Qld.
Generally this is a reasonable network. Half-hourly during the off-peak and weekends, and 15 mins or better during peak periods on the majority of lines.
To be honest... other from the 15min off-peak service that operates between Corinda - Brisbane City - Northgate, any chances of off-peak frequencies on the other suburban lines being increased from the half-hourly schedule? Surely some lines such as Cleveland or Caboolture could support 15mins as far as Manly or Petrie.
The interurban commuters to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are lucky to get new rollingstock and track upgrades/extensions. Its much needed on the Sunshine Coast due to the congested track capacity beyond Caboolture.
And hows the update on TransLink and the smart cards situation, last time I've heard they are still in their testing phrase with selected Redcliffe to Brisbane City bus/train commuters.
