G21 Hydro Public Transport

Ageing infrastructure, poor communications with passengers, inadequate support transport and an ever congested rail line all add up to a serious issue faced daily by Geelong to Melbourne travellers. Current remedies of the congested Geelong to Melbourne rail line are increasing passenger commute times and costing approximately $5 billion. The proposed G21 Hydro public transport vessel for 2030 eliminates any form of traffic as it bypasses all existing traffic lines utilising the calm waters of Port Phillip Bay. Its submersible design utilises existing sea freight lines without interference.

Travelling times will be halved as it reaches maximum speeds of 180km/h (98 knots) using supercavitation in a turbulent free and smooth commute. Located between the two hulls, hydrokinetic sensors charge this vehicle using the natural currents of the bay with virtually no emissions.
