Queensland residents draw to the attention of the House the need for on-train, announcements of stations to include relevant bus services that can be easily transferred to. Currently Queensland Rail (South East Queensland) on-train announcements of stations include where to transfer from one train service to another (eg Northgate, Park Road, etc) but these do not include stations at which people can easily transfer to High Frequency bus services or even Busways. Similar on service announcements are currently being made on the Gold Coast, G-Link tram service. Under the TransLink branding, bus and rail services are meant to be integrated, yet simple things such as the provision of audio announcements (regarding transfers between forms of public transport) are not occurring.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House do all in its power to ensure that Queensland Rail adjust automated and in person (South East Queensland) on-train announcements of stations to include bus services at which people can easily transfer to High Frequency bus services or Busways.
