3.5) Roles of the Modes in the Future<br />
Looking to the future of the region there will be significant changes which will impact on the roles of the<br />
LPT modes:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Economic growth which will encourage demographic change and the wealth of the region (this will<br />
facilitate greater desire for travel)<br />
Population and employment growth which still stimulate the need for additional LPT capacity<br />
New development areas which will need to be served by LPT<br />
Changes in LPT network supply through committed schemes such as the two LRT extensions and MRT1<br />
which will change the need for bus service provision<br />
Increased tourism in the region<br />
Given these changes, the LPTMP defines the changing roles of the modes into the future (see Figure<br />
below):<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Rail will be the future spine of the network in terms of capacity and accessibility<br />
Bus will support the rail system by providing feeder services to rail services and by providing services<br />
in the secondary corridors not served by rail and providing local services to district centres<br />
Taxi will fill in the gaps in space and time and provide a quality option for door to door travel where<br />
cost is not a deciding factor<br />
