Let us say upfront that this
is not an official proposal for a Transport Hub at QVM but it comes from a
trader in the deli hall and it certainly sounds like an idea worth looking at.
The proposal was made at a meeting of deli
traders on Thursday. The trader suggested that if Transport Hubs were such an
important component of many large shopping centres, why couldn’t it be a part
of one of the world’s largest markets? A drop-off terminal could be created for
city, near-city, and regional buses, linking with existing tram services, and create an instant customer source.
Where would we put it? Well, if an alternative car park is to be created for
QVM and the current car park area made into a mall (already proposed in the press), perhaps a Transport
Hub could be located adjacent to the mall.
Like we said – worth considering.
