ACTION's REDEX rapid bus service connecting the Gungahlin town centre to Civic and south Canberra looks to be building momentum.
The every 15-minute service is giving potential passengers the certainty they need to get serious about using public transport, with passenger numbers on the increase - 1377 on one day alone - and an overall increase of 4.2% in patronage.
The ACT Government, following pressure from the ACT Greens MLAs as part of their post-election agreement with the ALP, funded the $1 million trial, which will run through to July this year. Extending the service type to other town centres will depend on the success of the Gungahlin service, so GCC urges all Gungahlin residents to consider giving REDEX a go.
