Metro-style buses, coined the "Gold Coast Surfer", will ferry passengers from Coolangatta to Burleigh Heads and west to Robina, under the Queensland government's Gold Coast Transport Plan.The plan is the government's alternative to the axed stage 4 light rail plan, following community opposition nine months ago.Premier David Crisafulli said the "generational infrastructure" was reflecting the feedback from those on the southern Gold Coast."We are delivering infrastructure for a growing state to protect the lifestyle of the people already here," he said."[This] means better public transport from Robina to the Gold Coast airport That's generational infrastructure, and that's a plan for growth for this city."The pitch to service the region with metro-style buses is promised to be completed ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.Under the plan, buses will run every 10 minutes from south-east Queensland's most southern point, heading north through Palm Beach and Burleigh Heads, as well as west to Varsity Lakes and Robina.Transport Minister Brent Mickelberg said a detailed design process would now be undertaken, including determining the means of delivery.He would not be drawn on whether that would limit traffic on existing roads, which were often congested."[Metro-style services], 10-minute headways … that will be a game changer," Mr Mickelberg said. "This is about delivering a genuine alternative to getting in the car."This is a game changer for the Gold Coast, and we are getting on with the job of delivering the infrastructure," he said.Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate, who previously indicated his support for stage 4 light rail, has expressed his support for the initiative
