The Canberra Liberals released many policies today, well ahead of the October Assembly election. One of them was on public transport. I dont really know what to make of it, except to say that it is light on detail and disappointing in its aims. It also seems as if light rail has been ejected from the list for consideration of Canberras future transport infrastructure.
"Mr Seselja said the Canberra Liberals are committed to improving the ACTION service for Canberrans."
It then lists two objectives:
- $3 million for a 12-month trial of a free shuttle service in the Belconnen, Tuggeranong and Gungahlin to feed into rapid bus lines
- Conducting a study on intelligent transport systems such as the use and collection of real-time commuter information and driver guidance systems.
To me this means 'guided buses' or O-bahn style buses. This is a trip in the wayback machine for sure. The Canberra Liberals need to issue more detail on what they mean by this.
At this stage the greens have the most compelling policy on public transport.
