NORTHERN CORRIDOR BUS-RAIL STUDY

The immediate purpose of this project was to study Adelaide's northern corridor, as a pilot for other investigations elsewhere, "to determine the optimum location and size of interchanges, to develop a preliminary design for bus/rail co-ordinated services and to assess the economic viability of the proposals". The primary output of the study was seen as: (I) identification of stations suitable for development as mode transfer locations; (II) route, frequency and fare policies; (III) projected access mode usage levels; (IV) preliminary layout plans for the recommended interchanges; and (V) examination of the economic and environmental justification of the proposals. This report was prepared for the Director-General of Transport, South Australia. /TRRL/
