Brisbane City Council’s infrastructure committee reveals 72% of Brisbane residents are driving their cars to work instead of taking public transport.
According to data from between 2011 and 2016 from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census, Brisbane was one of the Australian capital cities who saw a decline in public transport usage.
A council spokesman believes the decreased trend in public transport usage could be related to service interruptions on rail lines or fare escalation between 2011 and 2016.
