Makes for some interesting reading, though i still believe its an articulated bus thats stuck on 1 route only. My personal opinion is that dedicated busways will do a better job for a lower operating cost, providing the correct vehicles are purchased for the purpose (ie high capacity artics).

From what I saw with the introduction of the SSR, trains/trams are alot better for mass movement. For example 2/3 4 car trams could empty Canberra Stadium to all Interchanges. This would also get alot of cars off the roads during peakhour if carparks at our major interchanges was improved. But one route I would like to add for peak time would be straight up Tharwa Dr/Drakeford Dr/Tuggeranong Pkwy to City.
