Com a confirmação do rompimento do contrato pelo governo da Bahia com a Skyrail, concessionária responsável pela implantação do VLT do subúrbio de Salvador, na última semana, a obra voltou a ser ponto de debate na capital baiana. A medida capitaneada pela Procuradoria Geral do Estado da Bahia, apontou a rescisão como saída diante da urgência de solução para a continuidade da implantação do sistema de transporte. Mas, ainda teremos o VLT?Alvo de algumas críticas por parte da população que vive na região, por conta do isolamento com outros pontos da cidade e com o cancelamento da operação dos trens do Subúrbio há quase dois anos e meio, a obra chegou a entrar na mira de alguns políticos que possuem mandatos ou bases ligadas a Salvador.Com a sinalização de forma positiva do ministro da Casa Civil, Rui Costa, para a inclusão da obra no orçamento aprovado pelo governo federal no PAC, o cenário para a instalação do modal pode mudar. O Terceiro Turno desta semana debate a partir de agora tudo sobre o passado, o presente e o que esperar do futuro do VLT do Subúrbio.

Faith and Val are joined in the studio by Brunswick resident Paula Hanasz. We all share our bike moments and take a brief look at local news before turning to the Brunswick level crossing removal project.Like many Brunswick residents Paula and her family rely on bicycles to get around and are concerned about the impact of the project while the Upfield shared path is closed down. Questions around detours, whether they will match the Upfield in separation from traffic and directness, are a major concern for residents. Like most areas of Melbourne, Brunswick is over-reliant on a single traffic free route and it will now be out of action for lengthy periods. We also look at the opportunities the project provides to improve transport accessibility across Brunswick into the future.  Merri-bek Council are collecting feedback on what issues and opportunities residents can identify around the project. Have your say here. For listeners who heard our show about Dervla Murphy last year, Val has found this interview with her that you might enjoy.

Down in Hiroshima, there is a short and, dare I say it, unique public transit line. It's not particularly flashy or fast. But it does stand out in its own ways.

John MacKenzie chats with Dr. Ken Chapman, Chair of Tourism Tropical North Queensland and Chair of Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, about the 2040 vision for Cairns Airport and the future of tourism in Tropical North Queensland. The plan would include increasing markets in India, Vietnam, and South Korea, as well as direct flights to North America, Europe, and the Middle East. The airport's international terminal is scheduled for an upgrade in 2023.  By 2040, the Cairns population is expected to reach 375,000 with a prediction of approximately 10 million passengers arriving.

John MacKenzie chats with Dr. Ken Chapman, Chair of Tourism Tropical North Queensland and Chair of Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, about the controversial "bed tax" proposal to assist with destination marketing costs. Cairns Regional Council will take the proposal to the Local Government Association of Queensland in an effort to charge short-term accommodation providers a 2.5% levy. Predictions report that the bed tax should inject an additional $16 million annually to be used to market Cairns and the tropical North. John and Ken also spoke about the 290-metre-long cruise ship, "Pacific Encounter", currently docked in Cairns with its passenger capacity of over 2500!

Today I spoke to Richard Berman-Hardman, general manager of Skyrail, about last night's budget and if Australia's international borders can be safely opened.

Time for something different for Episode 160 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast: you can listen in on my diary! I've just spent a week in Cairns, Queensland, and after many requests to do this, I actually recorded a podcast diary on my trip. Well, most days - it was a very busy trip! The first part of my trip saw me explore Cairns, the Nerada Tea plantation and taking the Skyrail to Kuranda on my own - all lots of fun and I especially enjoyed the chance to be a solo traveller for just a couple of days again. That's a rare pleasure for me at this phase in life. For the second half of my trip, a hundred and fifty or so of my friends joined me!! In fact I was attending the annual convention of the Australian Society of Travel Writers, so I got to visit Fitzroy Island with a small group of them, and then spend two days together talking and celebrating all things travel writing, travel PR and travel influencing. It's such a fun event and also really got my mind ticking over with a billion new ideas for the podcast. Links: Some of the travel I did on this trip was sponsored or subsidised and I'm very grateful for the chance! Of course: my views are always my own. Nerada Tea plantation - see where your tea grows! You can eat a mighty good meal there and see their resident tree kangaroos - https://www.neradatea.com.au Kuranda Skyrail - a fabulous way to get up into the rainforest - https://www.skyrail.com.au Fitzroy Island off Cairns - a place I've promised my son I'll take him to in the near future - https://www.fitzroyisland.com  Riley, a Crystalbrook Collection Resort - a hotel that even I approve of! - https://www.crystalbrookcollection.com/riley Tropical North Queensland - more things to do in this fabulous part of the world - https://www.tropicalnorthqueensland.org.au

Santamas in Serenity Hollow Part 1:   ‘Tis the season for a Christmas adventure! Scratch that. A Santamas adventure!   The game is Deadlands and the situation is this: Trouble is brewing in the Wilds. Four strangers are on a westbound train for Mega Dino Fun Park, a place where dreams come true…if your dreams involve possibly being eaten by a dinosaur. However, things don’t go as planned when the train is diverted and the Skyrail becomes more like the Polar Express, that is, with less Tom Hanks and more hijacking. The strangers must form a posse and figure out who the outlaws are and what is plaguing the small town of Serenity Hollow before Santamas is ruined and the whole town resorts to cannibalism. So grab some hot cocoa and enjoy the first part of our holiday one-shot!   Thanks to Blue Stahli for the intro music.

Val and Faith are joined in the studio this week by Melissa and Chris Buntlett of Canadian agency Modacity. We share our bike moments before taking a brief look at some local news including; last chance to have your say on the shape of the Shrine to Sea boulevard for pedestrians and cyclists and Skyrail for Upfield and the chance to make sure this ensures a badly needed upgrade for the Upfield bike path. Melissa and Chris describe how they first came to give up the use of their car ten years ago in Vancouver and the journey they've been on since then, with their two children, sharing stories about urban mobility and the ways in which multi-modal transport which embraces the bicycle can create more open and welcoming environments for everyone. Their book Building the Cycling City: The Dutch Blueprint for Urban Vitality is being launched in Melbourne Tuesday November 20th at Bicycle Network 

The skyrail project has divided communities across Melbourne, but new figures are showing that it might actually have significant benefits for local property values. The elevated railway lines going up in suburbs around the state have been criticised as having the potential to ruin neighbourhoods and increase crime. However, it's not clear yet that this has happened or will happen.  Andrew Kelso looks at the issue
