The article talks a lot about the problem, but only briefly touches upon the solution.

"Five per cent of our community use public transport — that's so low because it isn't being seen as a viable alternative," he said.

"It's not efficient, and it's not regular enough.

"It's an ineffective way of getting people off the Bruce Highway, getting them off the roads."

That's it. That's all it says about the most important thing that can be done to fix the issue. The Caboolture and Kippa-Ring lines need to be upgraded to run a bunch faster. The Albany Creek, Samford, Dayboro triangle needs access to some serious form of trunk line. And all three of the main areas that make up the City of Moreton Bay need much better access to high frequency bus routes taking them to places like local shops, schools, and to those trunk routes.

And while we're at it, that should be more affordable than it currently is. Caboolture (or even just Petrie) to the city costs a whopping $60 per week if you travel 5 days.
