Gold Coast International Airport has been used to maintain consistency with the table. Note 1: 2018 travel times are anticipated to be similar to that in 2011. This is due to a combination of factors including: • The Games being held over school holidays resulting in fewer vehicles on the road; • The Games Transport Strategy, which includes integrating ticketing and prohibits spectator parking at venues, thereby enforcing use of public transport to access venues and events; • Ability for Games traffic to use dedicated Games lanes on major roads (existing and future HOV lanes); and • Delivery of road upgrades on major routes and the GCRT light rail system providing greater capacity on the City’s transport network. Note 2: Alternative travel modes including heavy rail and light rail will be predominately used by spectators and has not been considered in these calculations. Note 3: Travel time improvements associated with Games lanes have not been incorporated into this table.
