We live in one of the biggest cities in the world area wise.
We have a modest population per sq km.
Who gets the public transport?
You cannot provide it to everyone without spending our grand kids pensions.
Back to reality, we wasted $1b on nothing.
With the population growing by the day, the traffic problem is going to get worse.
EW link is a Finger in the dyke. How long will it hold? Not long enough.
You worried about your grandkids? Perhaps make sure there is a world for them to actually grow up in.
Cars are far from good for the environment. PT flogs it in terms of environmental benefits.
WHere to put the rail? Everywhere!
Rail to Tullamarine is a good start.
More rail around the city which they are doing.
Already adding some rail out my way.
Doncaster area should be next.
Adding a new line/extension takes 100's of cars of the roads every day.
