Week 9: Project 2 - Idea Development Log

SOURCE: http://translink.com.au/

The above images looks some existing bus routes through the area. As can be seen from the bus maps, a variety of existing routes are available through the precinct however this is mainly by the main roads through and around. There doesn't appear to be services that go through the inner suburb roads of the precinct. Considering the hilly nature of the suburb, walking could be difficult for older residents or those with disabilities. The PRT would allow those catching buses from outer areas to reduce their travel time home and out of the precinct.

Also, what can be seen from the image above is that there are not many existing parks and green spaces within the precinct. The ones that are currently there are also located towards the outer regions. The inclusion of a green space/park land in my Transit Centre will be centrally located in the precinct making it accessible to all users.
