After a 'landmark' deal with the state government, the Brisbane City Council has promised a permanent return of Metro services through city routes from the 28th of January next year. 

The services are expected to run the 66 bus route in five-minute intervals along the existing Queen Street Mall tunnel from January.

This comes following criticism that the council hadn't properly labeled the one-month 'trial' of the metro's 169 route, which rolled to a quiet stop last month.

Council transport chair, Councillor Ryan Murphy told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "We'll see the city start to transition from a public transport system to a mass transit system."
