Stage 1
When Stage 1 of Canberra's Light Rail launched on 20 April 2019, it marked the beginning of a new era for the city's transport network, and the results have exceeded all expectations. The 12-kilometre route connecting Gungahlin to the City centre now carries over 90,000 passenger boardings each week, significantly surpassing original forecasts and demonstrating strong community demand for reliable, high-frequency rail.
