Queensland’s “rail-fail” has cost taxpayers more than $41.6 million since 2016.
The 41.6 million has been spent on replacing cancelled trains with buses, issuing taxi coupons to passengers and overtime for train drivers and guards.
Currently, Queensland Rail runs a timetable with 470 fewer services than October 2016.
Transport Minister Mark Bailey said there was a steady increase in train drivers which will fix the rostering issues.
