Series Finale in Optimising Traffic and Transit, why it is done, and we do get to build that tram line
In Part 3, we finish off of doing some traffic and transit optimisation in the existing part of Neo South Auckland (the Manukau sector) before we move onto Greenfield development over in the main City Centre across the River.
Over to Mill Way, and Ravenwood Bourne we see whether we can optimise the heavily utilised buses or need to go full tram lines.
We also look at some urban geography lessons including optimisation vs upgrades, mode efficiencies and why one more lane will not fix your congestion problems – generally.
We also take a ride on a tram and find a bug!
Finally, we take a preview of the Greenfield area that will be the main City Centre.

Final Note
While we focus on Greenfield development next, optimisation programs and upgrade programs in existing urban areas will always need to occur – and regularly. As I mentioned in Part 1, Bus Lines 4 and 5 while optimised for now will eventually need to be upgraded to trams especially as medium density becomes high density in that area.
All because Cities are not static, they are living organisms that continue to evolve.
