Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In 1982 a study was instigated by the Victorian government to examine public transport services in three inner suburbs in Melbourne. This led to an investigation of the possibility of replacing two rail services in the study area by the light rail transit (lrt). This paper summarises the finding of this work which resulted in a recommendation that lrt replace the rail service. The paper addresses the financial, economic, accessibility and patronage implications of the conversion. The number of the covering abstract for the conference is IRRD no 272228. (Author/TRRL)
