Note sull'episodio
A very wide-ranging discussion covering everything from e-bikes and busways to Olympic infrastructure and the long-term future of Brisbane.
Today’s guest is Dr Matthew Burke — CEO of Bicycle Queensland and someone with a long academic background in transport and city planning. So while this conversation does cover cycling in Brisbane and the debate around Queensland’s proposed e-mobility laws, it also goes much broader than that.
We talk about:
• Why so much of Greater Brisbane was designed around cars
• The fuel crisis and Australia’s vulnerability to rising fuel costs
• Why outer suburbs can be difficult to live in without a car
• The future of public transport in South East Queensland
• Whether Brisbane is actually improving when it comes to transport planning
• And what kind of transport legacy the 2032 Olympics could leave behind
