Brisbane Stickers – Thomas St, West End, originally uploaded by Brisbane Blog Is Against Censorship.

Brisbane Buses – only ONE seat?
I’ve blogged before about how the Inner Northern Busway is a great idea. But even the best ideas need to have all the little details thought through. The picture shows you the scene at the Roma Street Bus Station’s inbound platform. And I’d love to know which genius thought that a major bus station only needs one seat.

Brisbane Photos: The Throbbing Heart of the Metropolis
This photo by flickr user Ozventure must have been taken from the walk-bridges that you can see in the photo, near the Turbot St end. The photo is looking directly down Creek St, and you can see cars on Ann St.
I really like the sense of movement and action in this photo.
