There will be 10 rapid routes, but the peak-hour Xpresso services have been dumped to make way for them.
Residents are angry the Xpresso routes would be dumped, saying peak hour commutes will more than double in time.
Transport Canberra director general Duncan Edghill met with about 100 Tuggeranong residents on Tuesday night at an information session.
Some Tuggeranong residents say their commute time will more than double under the proposed new network.
