50 cent fare trial may strain underfunded Brisbane bus system, risking service cuts and congestion.

Brisbane City Council warns 50 cent fare trial could overwhelm underfunded bus system, citing 82,000 fewer services than a decade ago. Council claims the Queensland government only contributes 70% to Brisbane's bus funding, with the remaining 30% coming from the council. Without increased funding, the council fears the trial could result in longer waits, fewer services, and worsening congestion.
