The light rail tunnel to Albany seems mad to me, I thought the northern busway was designed to accommodate light rail so I can't understand why one would build tunnels to Albany instead of putting light rail along the current busway corridor.

I don't understand why we need light rail there anyway. We have buses and a busway?

Light Rail moves more people quicker, and does not get stuck in traffic.

Neither do buses if they have their own lane.

Buses don't have their own lane on the Harbour Bridge.

Does the Harbour bridge actually back up on a regular basis though?
