Don’t you hate it when your rant to someone about their grammar is wrong in itself… and I can’t blame a typo as the keys are not next to each other… 🙂 I think I irk myself here!

Extending the train line from Kingston to the CBD would be a far more ffcnt (shortened from efficient… I eliminated the vowels to save time) option in regards to moving large numbers of people, IMHO, albeit far, far more expensive and complicated. Plus it would be essential for the trains to be quicker, cheaper and generally more convenient than private transport, which could be tricky on a single line track? Double the track, insanely expensive again.

With one of the best private transport networks in the world… ACT GovCo would be better off encouraging people to switch to smaller, more viable forms of private transport. I’ve seen one or two motorbikes in Canberra. It’s a shame that they’re generally viewed as a novelty/annoyance in this country, rather than a compact, cheap and sensible form of private transport, as they are everywhere else in the world.

The line did in fact go right through to the city before the great floods that washed away the causeway over the Molonglo and they never rebuilt it. The solution, if not car and if not bike and if not bus, is probably more towards light-rail over heavy-rail but the problem is Queanbeyan does not have the population to support such a regular frequent system. Belco: ~90,000, Tuggers: ~80,000, Gungahlin: ~70,000 and growing, Queanbeyan: ~40,000. Oh well… back to the car.

I believe that removing a lane of traffic and making it only for busses plus added in extra traffic lights on a road will actually not decrease congestion…
I dunno… something about halving the amount of lanes and adding in more stops…

buggering up Canberra Avenue

It’s already buggered…

i read the title for this post and thought the greens had gone all clever with pseudonyms for one’s behind…

Paint half the road off for a cycle lane too, fit healthy NS Welshmen are welcome to commute here to work. The fatties can stay on the other side, as they may be lazy.

There’s already a cycle path the entire way.

Besides, if you make it too hard Queanbeyan residents might not come to work in Canberra. And these people are, after all, the brains of Canberra.

They can catch a train from Queanbeyan to Canberra station.
