I’m from Sydney and you don’t need a quantum computer to help you improve public transport…plenty of obvious improvements already

this looks like the most false thing I've ever seen.

You don't need QC to solve transport problems. What, are you suddenylu going to get a magic optimizer that couldn't do what classic optimizers have done for decades?

    AFAIK quantum is well-suited to the kind of discrete optimisation problems that transportation generates. Our solution methods in many cases reduce to clever brute-force.

I bet this is someone who read about the 'travelling salesman problem' and quantum computers and put 3 and 3 together.

It looks like this is the beginning of a project, perhaps with an experimental small setup. It's annoying that they mix the current capacity of the system with the planed future capacity once it's fully working in an unspecified timeline.
