Quick facts about the rapid transit system

• Services will run every seven to eight minutes in the early years of the system
• Stations will be located all along the populated coastal strip
• The system is expected to operate 24 hours per day
• Services will be fast and efficient, rapid transit vehicles can travel up to 70km per hour in selected corridors
• The rapid transit system has its own dedicated corridor so over 95% of services are anticipated to run on-time
• All stations will feature 'real time' passenger information technology to make public transport easier to catch
• Passengers using the system will be able to use their TransLink Transit Authority go card or purchase tickets either from the stations or once they are on-board.
