  • provide attractive and comfortable passenger facilities and make public transport easy to access and use
  • upgrade public transport facilities to create a consistent look-and-feel throughout the network
  • support high frequency and/or priority public transport to allow services to connect and provide passengers with a faster, more efficient and reliable journey.
