In a world of spin and confusion, there’s never been a more important time to support independent journalism in Canberra.
If you trust our work online and want to enforce the power of independent voices, I invite you to make a small contribution.
Every dollar of support is invested back into our journalism to help keep citynews.com.au strong and free.
Thank you,

Good to see the facts getting coverage. Max passengers per hour by tram on Northbourne will be 4000/hr if they double the number of trams however a bus lane can move 15000/hr.
ReplyThe Red Rapid Gungahlin to City bus is probably the best bus service in Canberra. It operates with decent patronage at 15 min intervals, and is easily extended. The real problem is the suburb feeder systems which deliver you to it.

Let’s remove Barr and stop this nonsense.
