Developer-Led Bus Services in Greenfield Areas – Characteristics and Opportunities.

Residents in new greenfield suburbs on the urban fringe often experience long delays in public transport provision leading to some developers choosing to fund and coordinate bus services themselves. This article reports on an investigation into this trend in Australia which uncovered ten such services which mostly offered direct connection to the nearest train station during peak periods. These were provided to improve the attractiveness and amenity of the estate. While such services are useful for early transport options, they are temporary and fairly limited and should be seen as a pathway to more comprehensive state-funded bus services.

城市边缘新建绿地郊区的居民经常遇到公共交通长时间延误的情况，所以一些开发商选择自己出资协调公交服务。本文介绍了对澳大利亚这一趋势的调查，发现了十项此类服务，其中大多在高峰时期直接发往最近的火车站。提供这些服务是为了提高小区的吸引力和舒适度。虽然此类服务对早期交通选择很有用，但它们是暂时的，而且相当有限，在国家资助更全面的公共汽车服务之前，这应被视为一种权宜之计。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
