Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Jackie Trad said the transitways would mean less time on the road and more time at home for tens of thousands of commuters.

"As south-east Queensland continues to grow, Labor is getting more cars off the road and making the trip to and from work safer and easier for bus commuters and motorists," she said.

With the Northern Busway currently extending to Kedron, buses travelling north of the busway use Gympie Road along with other private vehicles, which increases congestions and clogs roads.

Ms Trad said Labor would deliver continuous bus lanes from Kedron to Chermside bus station, improving traffic flow and safety.

In the east, there would be an extension of the current Eastern Busway to provide Old Cleveland Road with bus priority measures to improve travel times, improve safety and pedestrian connectivity and improved cycle access starting at Cavendish Road and ending at Creek Road.

Ms Trad said more than six million passenger trips were made on the Eastern and Northern busways in the past year.

"For those locals travelling in peak hour traffic, they will see significantly reduced travel times," she said.

Ms Trad criticised the LNP, which this week failed to commit to Cross River Rail in its election transport policy, and said Labor would build the necessary public transport infrastructure.

Former premier Campbell Newman dumped Cross River Rail in favour of the Bus and Train Tunnel in 2013, with the BaT tunnel then scrapped by the Palaszczuk government in 2015, with a return to Cross River Rail.

"Labor is committed to public transport and this is yet another fantastic congestion-busting project to directly benefit commuters wanting to get home quicker to spend more time with family," Ms Trad said.

Labor Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk spent day 18 of the campaign in Cairns, Proserpine and Bowen, while LNP leader Tim Nicholls was in Cairns and Tully, before driving to Townsville.

The state election will be held on Saturday, November 25.
