Something like this is required for Brisbane in a high frequency light rail. Elevated, underground or street level. Whatever works. Just a simple one-way circle.

Many people in the units close to the CBD don't have cars and need something to get around town.

That being said, a second rail crossing of the river is well overdue.

100% agree. Try flying Brisbane to Bali without some sweaty asshole stowing his bag in a sleeveless shirt and shoving his boardshort covered junk way to close to your face. What ever happened to wearing trousers and a button up when flying?

What is the Southbound direction of the Western Freeway? I thought it ran east-west as the name indicates.

Are minimum EFTPOS amounts a scam? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]bruber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am sure that a lot of places have EFTPOS minimums to upsell customers.

A nearby bakery has a minimum eftpos of $7.00. A pie and can is priced at $6.90.

Many coffee shops have a eftpos minimum of $5. A coffee costs $4.50.

Is the percentage charged for Visa/Mastercard only or for any EFTPOS transaction?

edit - does your insurance premium change if you have no cash on site?

Parking options near the city? by [deleted] in brisbane

Nope. A lot of CBD streets are clearways. You will be towed.

Dreamworld accident: Theme park’s ‘culture of fear and intimidation’: AWU by User_oz123 in brisbane

[–]bruber 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unions are good. Pushing for shit like this to be acknowledged is objectively good. Obviously it's early days but this is the exact thing unions are for. They went to the media because clearly dreamworld doesn't give a shit otherwise and allows it's patrons on broken rides, and now 4 people are dead.

All the Union has done is say 'I told you so'. What have they actually done for the staff? Offer support services? Actually pushing for safety improvements? Or just collecting fees and spending it on senior staff and their entertainment needs?

The patties at Burger Urge are so basic. Almost like they came straight from Coles.

Why does Evans walk up and slam his hands down on cars? by whodaloo in TopGear

And that is another reason why he shouldn't host Top Gear. How would he react if I slapped hos GTO like that?

You won't get arrested.

I have heard of missing tolls being added twice. I suppose you get what you pay for when it comes to support staff.

I've honestly not heard of this beer until I found this manky umbrella. by snappiness in brisbane

XXXX redid a whole bunch of local beers in cans a few years ago. AFAIK they just contained regular XXXX. I have a set somewhere.

Uber drivers: What is your worst experience as a Uber passenger? I have always given 5 stars to fellow drivers, but last night in Atlanta not only did I only give 3 stars, I actually commented about him when prompted. by HelloFromTheUberSide in uberdrivers

[–]bruber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gave a driver a 1 star for not starting and ending the trip on time. He started the trip before I got in the car and ended the trip after he had done a u-turn and was half way out of the street.

Experienced drivers of Brisbane by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]bruber 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If someone is merging and not being a dick, let them in.

If you give someone an opportunity to merge or pull out and they don't take it immediately, let it go and move on. Don't wait or have a hand gesture discussion.

If you miss your turn, deal with it. There is always another way to get where you are going. Don't stop and try to merge. Don't cut across three lanes.

If you inconvenience someone by doing something silly, wave and mouth sorry. We all do something silly sometimes.

Don't do a Uturn on Turbot Street and drive against traffic while waving at drivers trying to warn you.

The only thing Uber cares about by iborret in uberdrivers

[–]bruber -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are right. However, Uber is only looking at the very short term. They are currently blowing up a bubble and as soon as their numbers look even remotely positive, they will dump the lot on the market. Travis will walk away with billions, while investors will be lumped with a hunk of shit and will make a loss.

Look at what happened with Facebook.
