Develop a business case for light rail and/or bus rapid transit as the next stage of major public transport priority investment in Perth

Recommendation

Provide certainty for future metropolitan planning by developing a business case for light rail and/or bus rapid transit as the next stage of major public transport priority investment in Perth, particularly in the Perth CBD and inner and middle suburbs, including completing a full options assessment comparing the Knowledge Arc light rail corridor against a potentially more extensive bus rapid transit system for Perth.
