Canberra public transport improvements
Canberra’s limited public transport network capacity, coupled with high rates of private vehicle reliance, is causing the transport network to suffer from increasing congestion.
Congestion is likely to be exacerbated by projected significant population growth.
This congestion results in adverse economic impacts through increased travel times and higher vehicle operating costs.
This proposal proposes to develop bus transit corridors connecting Belconnen and Queanbeyan to central Canberra. These corridors will provide an integrated transport solution, reducing traffic congestion and providing transport network capacity for future economic development in the region.
