Send Light Rail South are awesome. Their primary raison d’être is to encourage the government to continue extending the Gold Coast’s light rail all the way to the airport, instead of its current ludicrous plan of making it a two-vehicle trip where you have to swap from a tram to a bus partway.
But I’ve also seen them commenting on an issue 100 km further north near me, where my state MP (and the Shadow Minister for Transport) from the centrist Labor Party keeps criticising the right-wing LNP government for not fast-tracking an expensive car toll tunnel that takes you all the way from the CBD to the edge of the city’s outer boundaries. Send Light Rail South joined in a very loud chorus of people saying it would be much better to put light rail (or at least BRT) along the congested major eight-lane surface road corridor, rather than wasting money and effort on this traffic inducing white elephant.
