How do visitors/foreigners handle navigating Brisbane buses?

I have lived in Brisbane for most of my life and I cannot fathom how someone with no familirity with Brisbane roads could catch a bus. At night times it’s nearly impossible without phone GPS. My point is, once you’re on a bus you pretty much have no idea where you are or what the next available stop is. Why is it we don’t have automated announcements of upcoming stops? After living in London for the past year it just seems like common sense to have this. submitted by /u/shopkeeper56 [link] [comments]

Hi Brisbane, I think I'm in a bit of trouble now…

Long story short, I have a performance review at work tomorrow. I’ve been there 4 months so they can theoretically just dispatch with me on the spot.

Looking for a gym partner/s at Elizabeth St Fitness First

Looking for straight gym partner or group of people to work out with every weekday at 5pm. I have a group of guys that I work with at 6pm but that is too late. I want to go earlier and get out earlier. I will approach some people in the gym at that time and see how I go but thought I would put it out there on here and see if there was anyone. I weigh 74 kilos so someone around that would be good. Happy to work out with anyone but obviously someone 100kgs is going to be lifting weight significantly different. I am male 38 yrs. I like free weights. Thanks Inb4: “>Straight Elizabeth St Fitness First Yeah right” submitted by /u/Gatoblanconz [link] [comments]
