The above document must of been part of the powerpoint presentation for this forum. But it shows a bit of detail on the future bus stations at City West/Dickson & Erindale. among the future network plans for 2016 & 2031.

They are still pushing the idea of Erindale replacing Tuggeranong (Greenway) as the major 'hub' for the south. I have no problem with Erindale being a supplementary hub, but to remove the direct Woden - Tuggeranong Town Centre link is/will be a MAJOR mistake. As is not providing a direct Tuggeranong - City route.

And once again, they seem to want to pursue the Belconnen - City busway/transitway after it was abandoned once before. Just make the Southbound left lane and Northbound right lane of Belconnen Way peak hour Bus Lanes and be done with it - use the money saved for the Northbourne tidal bus lane.

Lastly, here's where to build the Dickson, Gungahlin and Barton Bus Stations: Corner Challis & Antill St (former ACTTAB HQ); Gungahlin Place between Hibberson & Efkarpidis Streets; Macquarie St/Bligh St (since there's a car park that's not being used).
