It was noted in Interim Report 8 that there was a need for at least a 50% increase in central terminal capacity for buses.
A site has been allocated in the current Town Plan for a new
bus terminal at the site of Central Market. This would appear
to be an appropriate development, since it can be connected
directly to the bus priority route just outlined.
The development of express bus services along the Waterfront Roads was seen to require specific treatment of access/egress arrangements in Central. In particular, the connections between the existing Central Bus Terminal and the Connaught
Road improvements would need to be examined with regard to
the requirements of a reliable bus operation and bus priority
links introduced where necessary.
