Why did i say its socialist first canberra has had a left leaning governwmnt for too long i dont care what sides in power they need to be kicked out once in a while. Second cos the tram forced on the labor party by the greens to form a coallition (the greens are socialist).

I would say anything that lets mw get to work and back in 10mins as apposed to 60mins is far more feasable than the alternarive. Pollution is a cooporation issue not our problem any other idea is oil company propaganda. Infrastructure costs over what period of time its all relative. Safety natrual selection. Lieing next to planter box on drugs and drunk again darwinian theory applies.

You cannot call safety a "natural selection" issue. I know you're being deliberately offensive but do you really believe that it applies in cases where innocent pedestrians or other drivers pay the price for someone else's bad driving?

With public transport the operators can be made to have a higher level of training as well as more checks and opportunity for enforcement.

Interestingly, you ignored my scalability argument, we can't just keep adding lanes to roads. We also can't just keep adding carriages to trains or more frequent services but it is a lot cheaper to do than re-engineer a busy road

I can and i will call safety a natural selection issue. Stand on road -> get hit by truck -> die -> gene pool has less stand on road genes. Same applies to rail lines and phylosophically i would argue same should applie to many other things.

Ill keep ignore ur scalability concerns untill u can tell my why on gods green earth i should spend an hour commutting instead of 10mins driving.

Imagine believing in stand on road genes.
