    The only reason cars are good right now is because countries like US and AU went 100% all in on cars. Do you have any idea the astronomical cost of public roads and car infrastructure? Imagine if we invested the same amount into a really really good train and tram system. Or, alternatively, imagine if we underfunded roads the same way we do public transport.

      Not 100%, Melbourne kept its trams around and Victoria still has massive car use

      We’re just a huge massive low density country so it’s hard to compare to inner western europe
