[bikeqld] Are Brisbane Councillors and state politicians serious about public transport?

[John Nightingale]

I understood that Brisbane's and MR's traffic control had been unified
recently, ie, a year or two back. So the final excuse has disappeared.
However, no surprise that nothing has happened.

Why is it that Transport  & Traffic Branch at BCC treats all but cars with
arrogance and thoughlessness and patronize us with weasel-words that end up
meaning nothing?
