True, it’s a pity we can't install some kind of long-term-solution/short term unpopular-brownie-points system though. I mean I just see it so often, short term answers to big, long term problems, particularly transportation, in Melbourne, we recently build a huge new roadway costing billions while he public transport system remains chronicly under funded. I can't help imagine what would happen if that money was spent on public transport, new trains, more trains, more trains on time, more trams, more busses, LESS CARS...*Sighs*
Yes u can argue ppl would not use it anyway, but in its currant state I only use it because I cannot drive.
