The Australian Capital Territory government announced the 13 stops names between Civic and Gungahlin under the stage one of Canberra’s light rail project.
The stop names have been named geographically in relation to major streets and intersections they will service, providing Canberrans with part of the service they can personally identify with.
“Stop names are an important part of light rail design, connecting residents with local public transport and helping Canberrans move about the city,” Minister for Transport Canberra Meegan Fitzharris said.
As the corridor runs between many of Canberra’s northern suburbs and sometimes contains more than one stop within a suburb, stops are primarily named after adjacent street names as well as prominent landmarks.
The stage one of the light rail to Gungahlin city involves the construction of 12 km of rails and should be put into operation in early 2019. Under the second stage, the authorities opened the community engagement to shape the line from Gungahlin to Woden through the Canberra’s city centre.
