Keen to find out what’s the most pressing transit issues in your city?
If there were one thing that you could change about the cycling or transit infrastructure in the city you live in, what would it be?
In Sydney of late, the reliability of the train network has definitely been an issue. Also, some outer suburban Western Sydney bus services run half hourly or worse during the morning and evening peak, with no nearby rail alternative nearby.
The last time I was up there, the light rail had made a huge difference to transport on the Gold Coast.
Unfortunately, at this stage, it doesn’t connect with the train line at the south end, doesn’t connect to the airport, doesn’t connect with the stadia, and doesn’t extend to the theme parks.
Hopefully it will see some extensions with the Olympics coming.
The light rail has been great, but it also will only ever serve the east of the city (mainly tourists and wealthier people) even after all of the potential extensions being discussed. The west will need more buses, but there is unfortunately no political glory in announcing more buses
Have there been bus network upgrades as the light rail has rolled out? Or has the focus just been on the shiny new trams?
