ACTION bus service—network
Ms Fitzharris (in reply to a supplementary question by Ms Le Couteur on Tuesday, 23 October 2018):
• Transport Canberra has calculated the proportion of Canberrans within walking distance of a bus stop based on:
o The proportion of dwellings in mesh blocks that are within a 800m radius of a Rapid bus stop or light rail stop (Rapid routes);
o the proportion of dwellings in mesh blocks that are within a 500m radius of any other bus stop served by local buses (Local routes); and
o the proportion of dwellings in mesh blocks that are within a 800m radius of a Rapid bus stop or light rail stop OR within a 500m radius of any other bus stop served by local buses (All routes).
• Mesh Blocks are the smallest geographical area defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and form the building blocks for the larger regions of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).
• This methodology is consistent with historical practices for calculating coverage of bus services in the ACT, as well as for other purposes (such as calculating coverage in new suburbs being developed).
• These radial distances are also consistent with the Estate Development Code.
• Using this consistent methodology, the portion of the Canberra community living within an 800m walking distance of a rapid route will increase from approximately 30% at the establishment of Transport Canberra in July 2016 to approximately 60% in the new network.
