       Noosa Style Bus

      In many parts of the world, the local transport has become an iconic not-to-be-missed
      experience associated with the place itself. Examples are the London red double decker bus,
      San Francisco cable car or Island “coconut” bus.
      The aim of the Noosa style shuttle bus is to provide a not-to-be-missed transport experience
      associated with a visit to Noosa. However, more importantly, it may assist in alleviating traffic
      congestion in our most popular coastal areas.
      Consultants Parsons Brinkerhoff (2016) sourced from the travel site tripadvisor.com, the
      following map showing all the restaurants, hotels and other tourist accommodation recorded by
      that site in the coastal area of Noosa.

      Restaurants and accommodation - Noosa Coastal Area

      Passengers could jump on the shuttle bus without the hassle of circling for a car park. Branding
      would ensure that the shuttle is instantly recognisable for the service route it provides.
      Imagery that evokes positive emotions or pride in our place, like that used on Noosa’s mobile
      library, might be considered for a Noosa style bus.

                | like the idea of small frequent electric shuttle buses with Noosa branding.
                If done correctly these could become a tourist attraction in themselves! —
