@couriermail: After 104 months of waiting, four years of construction, three prime ministers, three premiers, a global pandemic and the mother of all funding battles, passengers are finally riding the tram to Burleigh Heads 🚊 It was smooth sailing as the first Stage 3 tram pulled out of Burleigh Heads at 6am today, officially extending the Gold Coast’s light rail network to the city’s beachside hotspots.

Are we talking four years as in it took four whole years to build from helensvale to burliegh ? Or just stage 3 becuse it only took a year to build stage 3 not four but if its the whole thing then they did it quick for 4 years

good thing they cancelled the airport link, there was a slight chance the tram could have been useful!

When you consider how long it takes to drive from Helensvale to Burleigh in peak hour traffic… 60mins via tram isn’t that bad

Hello :
I live in Helensvale and no one wanted this I’m yet to speak to a single resident here who cared about the tram line to Burleigh. Would have been nice to have a train to the airport though. Our government spends money on such stupid stuff. Trams are so outdated, most countries only have older systems or are phasing them out for more efficient travel options.

So much negativity in the description and comments, in a few years everyone will wonder how they did without it.
