QR does not operate suburban services in Toowoomba, Rockhampton, Mackay,
Townsville or Cairns and the bus services in all of those towns are only for
people without cars. The traffic congestion in those cities is relatively
minor. The low PT usage in Qld (And Tas) is really a result of the
decentralised nature of those states.
