The percentage of investment of roads v public transport in the - TopicsExpress



          

The percentage of investment of roads v public transport in the ACT would be an illuminating figure. A thought provoking article: Maybe we should not build more roads and just invest more in public transport, and then we dont have that problem in the future maybe, he says of the constant requirement to upgrade road systems. Peter Newman, Professor at Curtin University in Western Australia and a former board member of federal advisory body Infrastructure Australia, is also of this view. What I found on the board … was that all the rail projects were actually far better in terms of benefit-cost ratios than the road projects, Newman says. Thats why WestConnex [in Sydney] and the East-West Link in Melbourne, they wouldnt even give them to us to look at, because they knew the benefit-cost ratios were pathetic, he says.
