Light rail service from Austin’s Ferry to Hobart CBD with feeder buses from Brighton and Bridgewater on the eastern side of the river and also on the western shore where distance to the service would discourage usage.
This would reduce daytime congestion on the roads and also have a positive environmental impact.
A safe and reliable public transport system should also benefit hospitality businesses in the CBD as many people, in places like Melbourne for example, are happy to head into town for a night out without the car.
