Published by Alex Makin on Sunday 4th of February, 2007

This evening I was on Channel Seven news commenting on the need for public transport improvements to mitigate Melbourne’s worsening traffic congestion.

Melbourne will continue to experience worsening traffic congestion until the State Government finally provides real transport choice in the form of frequent, readily available, reliable and safe public transport. Rail lines to South Morang, Rowville and Doncaster are urgently required as is upgraded bus services that are coordinated with Melbourne’s rail and tram networks.
