You hang around too long after the game currently and take your chances that there is still a bus there and it's a bloody long walk, or a cab fare if not. A fair portion of people on the bus pile off at civic to go have a drink after a game. I'd say the number of people that currently drive to the game would reduce with a civic stadium because it's not in the middle of nowhere and there is entertainment there for before and after a game. As ACT taxpayers we've been sold this story of a tram to fix all our transport problems so surely moving 30,000 people into and out of our city shouldn't be a problem?Seiffert82 wrote:Yep and there's the other 7000 cars that need a park in Bruce for big games, which will also be the case in the city.
People can pretend that has no impact on a Friday or Saturday night all they like, but it's an actual issue.

The very first few sentences....
Canberra’s public transport helps make our city less congested, more sustainable and more equitable. Attractive, convenient and connected public transport is critical to achieving a more compact, efficient and liveable city.

It talks about a transport network that can currently meet and has the infrastructure to adapt and be flexible to meet the needs of a growing population. According to you and Seiffert it does neither of these things and never will. Sounds like our taxpayer dollars haven't been well spent if a transport system cannot cope with 30k people? How many trillion dollars will we have to spend on the transport system to get to a point where we can say that we're now ready to build a bigger stadium?
... As the city grows and intensifies, and demand on our network increases the new network will allow Canberrans to reach more destinations in less time via frequent reliable connections, 7-days a week. We will continue to build and reinforce the new network to ensure we get to where we want to be. ....
High frequency rapid routes lie at the core of the new network to service those corridors with highest demand and destination points....
This will provide certainty for businesses, employers and individuals to make long term decisions on where to live, work and invest..... (comment - excluding investment decisions from the same govt that created this plan)
Continued improvements to service frequency and speed on the core rapid network as well as the connecting local and feeder services will help cater for future population growth and urban intensification.
Light rail
Canberra’s future public transport system will have a high capacity light rail network at its core.
Along with quality infrastructure, the success of our feeder and local routes relies on seamless transfers, frequency and good connections to other transport types.
