bracken stix, no freeway? mite be 6k as the crow flies, but on the bus thats like another hour (no doubt most people on the northside catch the bus as they cant afford cars, and even if they can their roads are so congested they only drive them north, not south)
Haha wow spook you've got no idea do you.
Yes the gateway and sandgate road and gympie road all pretty much converge on the back of bracken ridge. It's possibly one of the easiest suburbs to get to, cos every arterial road gets you there. And no it's 6ks by road. And I can walk 6kays in under an hour. And most people on the northside catch the train or drive, which will account for a grand total for 9 minutes extra travel time.
And also what paveway said, southside you're crawling, northside you've just got lights.

Northside traffic is a hell of a lot better. I'd rather be on Gympie Road than on the freeway any day.

Northside easily.. all the examples (airport, RBH, CBD, Suncorp, XXXX brewery, etc) have been mentioned by the #1 reason northside is better is because it isn't southside!@

brisbane is just a big country town...not even really a city......
its infrastructure sux, and its public transport rates as some of the worst in the world.
bands/entertainers reguraly bypass brisbane shows, only playing down south.
does that not say something to you?

as for northside/southside...
brisbane has 4 sides. its not 1 line of houses from Munruben to Kallangur.
and it seems most of the arguments involve travelling away from where you live.
to me, all roads and the people who drive them in brisbane suck.
couldnt use a roundabout to save themselves and couldnt merge if there life depended on it.

i think they should fill the river in and make it one big free carpark with a highway down the middle and exits every 5 kms with free bus services to the city. no cars should be allowed in the city, other than commercial vehicles, police/fire etc, and public transport.

they should also make suncorp stadium and the gabba water reservoirs.
and put sporting grounds out where the water catchment areas are now.
it never rains out there so games wouldnt be washed out, and it gets rid of all the bogan football fans on game days......

Well anywhere close to the CBD is f***ed for loading and parking.

Yeah it usually doesn't take us too long to shuffle in, but then theres the problem of parking four cars in the valley?! Parking in the CBD is a piece of s***.

I agree, and the northsiders can keep that piece of s*** along with its river of spew.
