Mayor of Sydney pushes for Light Rail as QLD says yes
Clover Moore, Mayor, City of Sydney recently put out a statement on
Light Rail
"Once again NSW's public transport system has been left behind, with the Queensland Government welcoming a recommendation that light rail be the preferred mode for the Gold Coast Rapid Transit (GCRT) project. This follows similar major public transport upgrades in Perth and Adelaide.
The Queensland Government report found that light rail would result in the more efficient use of road space and fuel; would create 10 times less emissions than single occupancy private cars; offer passengers a congestion free ride, by-passing traffic gridlock and accidents; operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with services every 7-8 minutes; boost public transport use on the Gold Coast from 4% to 10% by 2026; and reduce the number of private vehicle trips by up to 10%.
The new light rail system would result in a high quality, frequent and reliable rapid transit system which will offer a real choice to car travel and underpin the development of a fully integrated public transport system for the Gold Coast.
Since 2004, we have done the necessary studies (ignored by the State Labor Government) and know that light rail is a viable alternative to buses in the CDB and an important solution for major, congested transit corridors. We've identified essential and urgent need for a city light rail loop and five other high volume routes: to Maroubra via Moore Park; to Mascot via Green Square; to Burwood via Parramatta Road; to Bondi via Oxford Street; and to Burwood via Lilyfield.
An extended light rail network will provide a safe, accessible, sustainable transport option for residents, workers and visitors to inner Sydney."
