First "Strategic Bus Corridor" opens

posted Sunday 2 July 2006

The NSW Premier, Morris Iemma, has announced the commencement of the first of Sydney's 43 new "strategic bus corridors", a term invented for the government's bus reforms implemented following the "Unworth" Inquiry.

Commencing on May 28, the corridor will provide "faster, more direct bus routes for passengers between Miranda and Hurstville" according to State Transit's house journal "Transit Times".

$2.5 million in new satellite-based technology will be used to give buses priority at traffic signals. New "plinth" bus stops will be provided.
