Stolen from my favourite Facebook group (warning: not really safe for work).

Literally my thoughts as I try to navigate around Brisbane. A trip from the west to the airport can involve up to half a dozen tolls if you do it wrong.

    I say let the private companies try to make their money, the cost of driving should reflect its true cost to society to push people towards more sustainable options. And once there are less people on the road, existing tolls will have no choice but to set pricing competatively or die (b.c. traffic wouldn’t be a concern anymore)

    Maybe I’m a bit extreme in my position, but I really hate cars for so many reasons…

      Sorta the same but fuck corpos, a federalized rail system is a do or die thing nationally. If world war breaks out again we aren’t separated from the rest of the world in the same way we were before and thus isolation will not save us.
