Brisbane public transport map, 1968. This map shows the transport into and out of Brisbane city, red denotes public transport and black shows private transport. The total figures show 10,780 travelling by public and 14,506 by private, significantly more than one third of the private traffic travelled over the Story Bridge. This map appeared in the follow up report to the Brisbane transportation study which was found to have conducted an inadequate study of public transport.

Development plan Brisbane roads, 1965. This ‘Recommended stage development plan’ for Brisbane appeared in the Wilbur Smith and Associates plan for Brisbane. The different colours denote pathways requiring development: red is stage 1 1965-70, blue is stage 2 for 1970-75, green is stage 3 for 1975-80, and brown is stage 4 for 1980-85. Major developments such as the riverside expressway are shown in this map. With its ‘Street and highway plan’ the transportation study recommended the removal of Brisbane’s trams.
