Bus stops for Adelaide Avenue

As if the Yarralumla elite are going to catch a bus.

what is the problem with the bus stops if only limited serves stop…can maintain the express

Wow the problem i have with the buses is they are too slow. so lets add more bus stops onto the express route to slow more buses down. Yes I realise not all buses would have to use them, but still all this does is slow the network down.

It would be nice if they put a bus stop somewhere between where hind-marsh drive goes under the parkway and cooleman court. That way in addition the 27 to warmanga I would be able to catch any bus to cooleman court and be able to get home instead of riding past my suburb, getting of at cooleman court and then walking back up the hill in the direction I just came from. I’ve ridden the bus on similar roads in sydney and they have bus bays along them so it’s easy for the buss to simply pull out of traffic and pick up passengers along the way rather than wasting time looping around the suburbs. I really hate the way some roads in Canberra are huge dead zones sourrounded by mounds, walls and hedges that are hostile to pedestrians or any kind of other traffic moving around the edges.

they don’t need rams and stairs as there are off and on ramps crossing those intersections. They just have to put the bus stop there and move the bus lane to the left side of the road. Thankyou I’ll have that 200k please.

They would not be able to modify the bridges with stairs plus associated roadworks for the pull in bay for $200k

This is a consultants study fee only, of course this wont be paying for the Bus stops, ramps,and stairs. The Kambah shared path Bridge is costing $ 5 million. But then we have spent billions on Roads in the last twenty years.

Canberra needs international expertise on this……….http://t.co/HqXihMog

FFS Corbel. Stop trying to put lipstick on the pig that is ACTION.

Wake up and give us a true public transport service – instead of runnign it down to the point where you can justify selling off another asset to the private sector (and yes I know we are talking about a labor govt here) – but the state of our public transport system here has got to a point where this seems to be the only motive behind their strategy of mismanaging it so badly.

How about inviting members of the public to have a true say in how our public transport system is to be redesigned (instead of these ‘consultation papers that they promptly ignore). Have a community-based committee with some real say in how the system shoudl be run now and into the future perhaps?

You can see some of the design options at a community information session at the Curtin shops on Saturday 25 February.
It’s outside Coles at Curtin Shops – corner Carruthers and Theodore Streets, Curtin between 12pm and 2pm.

I think buses are a more realistic, cheaper, and faster option than light rail (for now) along this corridor. Keep the bus lane in the middle, and have stairs from the overpasses (a la M2 in Sydney). You can still have your express routes, but you will also have non-express buses able to pull into a bus stop.

Did someone say “light rail”???

(Fast, efficient, multi-stops along the transit corridors – this is what Adelaide Avenue, Northbourne Avenue, Canberra Avenue were designed for FFS!)
