CANBERRA IS ICONIC BECAUSE//



Canberra is prominently known for its Political buildings as well as historical and cultural iconic structures. The aim of the light rail is to link all these features together...

BRIEF//

.Create a light rail system using capital circle as the central point
.Create a more pedestrian friendly centre environment for Canberra
.Link iconic spaces in Canberra
-->Link to outer parts of Canberra???
.Create more public spaces (the stations) that can be for Australians to have their voice heard directly to Parliament
.Can be (flexible) moved to combine with surrounding stations... (see image)


Concerns/options//
.Above ground or underground?
.Inner circle or outer circle of Capital Circle?
.Full circle or stop at the semi circle?



This statistic show that 84.5% of locals in Canberra use private vehicles. I think this statistic is well enough proof that there is a lack of public transport efficient enough for people in Canberra to use everyday. Only 8.8% use public transport in Canberra compared to 26.3% in Sydney.
