I stuff---> Light rail, Basin Reserve traffic revamp mooted in capital transport overhaul

Light rail to Island Bay has been revealed as the centrepiece of Let's Get Wellington Moving's plans to reshape the capital's transport network.

The four options to be considered for public consultation have been released. Three involve a tram line to Island Bay, with the fourth option based around elongated electric "bendy buses" running on dedicated lanes.

Every option includes a new tunnel under Mount Victoria, but none with additional car lanes.

Three of the four options would extend Arras Tunnel, meaning the Basin Reserve would no longer be a roundabout.

NZ Herald---> Options for light rail and extra tunnel announced for Wellington

Let's Get Wellington Moving has officially revealed the four options to "transform" the capital with mass rapid transit, improvements at the Basin Reserve, and an extra Mt Victoria Tunnel.

Mass rapid transit is the centrepiece of the proposals with routes both to the east and south via light rail or spacious elongated electric buses.
