The little shuttle bus from Strathnairn, great initiative from Ginninderry.Have you seen these cute minibuses? Canberra's #Ginninderry Shuttle (Route 903) is a free shuttle bus connecting the brand new community of #Strathnairn to #Kippax in West Belconnen. Introducing the service before the bulk of residents have moved in (unlike typically is the case with public transport) helps reduce automobile dependence and establish public transport as the default mode of choice.

At under 7 metres in length, the ultra-low floor #Hino Poncho is highly manoeuvrable and perfect for the operation. There are now more than 50 #Ponchos in Australia, with the vast majority used for community transport and on-demand bus applications, including the CDC NSW #Metroconnect and Bridj Transit Systems in Sydney. ...

Good newsCatching light rail from Kippax to the airport? It’s more than just a dream! Kippax has been included in the pre-feasibility studies for Light Rail Stage 3.

There’s been a lot of talk this week about light rail extending down to Commonwealth Park.

It’s good that work is getting underway with the line (eventually) to Woden (Stage 2).

But as Greens Transport Spokesperson and the Member for Ginninderra I want to remind people that the Canberra Light Rail network is about more than just a single line from Gungahlin to Woden.

I’ve had confirmation from the Minister for Transport that the rest of the network is very much still on the plans.

That means a light rail network taking in Tuggeranong, Weston Creek and Molonglo, and crucially for Ginninderra, a line running from Kippax all the way to the airport.

The ACT Greens will be passionate advocates for including Kippax as part of the initial construction of Light Rail Stage 3 so that West Belconnen isn’t left behind as our city, and light rail network grows.
The ACT Greens want to create a sustainable, connected Canberra that works for everyone.

Critical to this vision is a comprehensive public transport network that ensures everyone can get where they need to go without burning fossil fuel, being stuck in traffic, or having long public transport wait times.

A Canberra-wide light rail network is critical to this vision, but it needs to be done right.
