Public Transport
As of 17 December 2007, the highway has a 5 minute frequency bus service between Southport and Burleigh Heads during the day and a half-hourly 24-hr bus service between Southport and Tweed Heads. This is operated by Surfside for Translink. Bus lanes are in place at some stages and will be consolidated into a continuous corridor in future. Light rail will commence construction in 2011, given that more than half of all public transport trips on the Gold Coast use the highway corridor.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or transport:
“Realizing that his time was nearly spent, he gave full oral instructions about his burial and the manner in which he wished to be remembered.... A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’”

“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
