Abstract

The imminent opening of the Cross City Tunnel (CCT) in Sydney in August 2005 is now the catalyst for examining new options for improving road base public transport systems. Based on strategic model forecasting reported in the Environmental Impact Study, the CCT is expected to remove some 60,000 trips per day through traffic off the CBD street system thus presenting new opportunities for reclaiming road space for public transport. But, regardless of whether trams or buses service the city, it is evident that it is not possible to take up to five lane kilometres of capacity out of the CBD like Sydney without incurring some form of disruption. This paper explores an evaluation process for assessing the impacts of bus and tram operations not previously possible until the advent of micro simulation modelling techniques.
