Thesis: A Proposed Orbital Public Transport System for Melbourne.
Place of Study: La Trobe University, Bendigo, Victoria

The thesis examines the feasibility of adopting an orbital public transport system in Melbourne, with a particular focus on the most efficient means of linking the outer suburbs of Sunshine and Broadmeadows. The detailed findings of the thesis conclude that an orbital rail line along the Albion to Jacana Line is potentially viable and worthy of further detailed study.
