Australia's Brisbane faces bus crisis from decade of underinvestment in transit

Brisbane's public bus system is experiencing severe overcrowding and reliability problems due to minimal investment over the past decade, according to transport groups cited by ABC News Australia. Commuters report frequent delays and overcrowded vehicles, prompting advocacy for dedicated transit lanes to improve service. The deterioration reflects broader infrastructure challenges in Australia's third-largest city and underscores the consequences of deferred public transit funding in rapidly growing urban areas.
