Hobart — a city with no passenger trains or trams, a single ferry route and limited bus patronage — is about to get a 23,000-seat stadium close to the CBD. How will crowds get to and from there?
"It just would be such a tragedy if there was no use of that northern corridor for a public transport system, whether that's bus, rapid bus or light rail," Ms Reynolds said."I do think there needs to be more logic and consistency to our big-event transport services because it's all a bit hit and miss at the moment," she said.
"Public transport and designing strategic public transport systems is a big piece of work and you need to have experts doing that work — not just commissioning consultant reports and hoping something will happen." "Buses are one solution, but that rail corridor is perfect for something, whether it's a light rail or whether it's another form of transport," Ms Duckett said.
