    But they havnt fucking replaced the car transport with a feasable alternative. The tram goes between nothing and fuck all, busses come every half hour if ur lucky. So if ur like the 99% of people in canberra and dont live in the friggin city its at least an hour commute by public transport if ur area even has public transport. Or u could drive and do it in 10mins. In theory ita great in practice its a complete clusterfuck much like everything the socialists try and implement.

        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.

            @unionagainstdhmo @muntedcrocodile Munted crocodile (by the way, I love your username), I’m genuinely curious about something.

            So let’s get this straight. You don’t like ‘socialism’, and you don’t like governments providing services to citizens, and you’re a fan of social Darwinism.

            If that’s the case, what in the bloody hell are you doing in Canberra?!

            Seriously, the whole town is basically public servants, defence personnel, consultants, contractors, and the people who provide services to them.

            And yeah, if you’re being directly or indirectly paid by taxpayers, then of course you’re going to vote for parties that support government services.

            With the light rail, the issue at this stage is that the network isn’t extensive enough yet. And the solution is more light rail.

            It’s fantastic if you live between Gungahlin and Civic. Public transport along its own dedicated right of way spends a lot less time in traffic. But it needs to be rolled out further for more people to gain the benefits.

            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.
