Frequent Corridors

Where did all this new service come from? Most of it was already there, but was presented as a tangle of several infrequent lines.  These were just too hard to figure out for someone making quick trips around the core.  Short trips are very time-sensitive, and that includes the time it takes to figure them out.  So circulators have to be frequent and simple.

For several years, Canberra has been discussing options for creating a shuttle system to link these core destinations. Instead, I suggested that we look at whether bus service that's already there could be branded to form legible and frequent circulator lines.  It turned out to be possible, with only slight service additions and some careful revision of timetables.

It is a point of frustration with me that this solution is sooo underutilised in this town.  Although Mains Rd is good with the 130 & 140.

It's the solution for city-Indro.  88 isn't.  Well, assuming there is no upgrade to the train frequency about the 15 minute frequency planned.
