Stage 1 light rail business case: Hobart to Glenorchy

This report examines the benefits and costs associated with the development of a light rail system (LRS) linking Central Hobart with Glenorchy. It examines four different optimal models, incorporating different trade-offs between speed and accessibility. On balance, the most rapid transit model is also the one which provides the greatest benefits, which is perhaps unsurprising given the locus of population at Glenorchy and of employment in Hobart and to a lesser extent Glenorchy.
