Good morning Brisbane. Today, Tuesday the fifth of August, the Brisbane Times reports that about one in every ten buses now runs late even after the fifty‑cent public‑transport fare drew thousands of extra passengers. Peak‑hour traffic gridlock is to blame, and planners are eyeing more bus‑priority lanes to keep services on time.
For motorists, the fuel cycle is still low. The cheapest regular petrol is roughly one dollar sixty and nine cents a litre at Quill Petroleum in Red Hill, while diesel sits near one dollar sixty‑nine cents.
