City Limits - August Transport Update - a podcast by Kevin Healy, Meg Kimber and Karina Aedo-Aguilera
from 2022-03-07T01:14:18.738960
This week Kevin invites our regular transport expert John McPherson on the show to discuss updates in Victorian transport, looking at the dichotomy of the governmental funding for road-based transport over effective and accessible public transport.Here, we look at the tokenistic improvement to Victorian train lines - 10 extra weekly services on a few key lines, and the Upfield railway upgrades, vs. new ($340m) plans to"keep the city moving"by easing road congestion. We also chat about links between life expectancy and pollution, and Australia's comparatively poor pollution-control measures, and that despite our (very slow) move towards electric vehicles, they are no panacea.
