@Danwwilson@ajsadauskas@TheOne - the last time I looked at Queensland transport spending on new projects, the cars were getting the most of the funds…yep, look at the numbers in this misleading pie chart:
@tom_andraszek@ajsadauskas@TheOne absolutely WILD! I get roads connect cities and towns in a way that PT doesn’t, but I think we’d agree that once a road is in place, we shouldn’t need to widen it. Instead if demand gets too high, we clearly need to invest in alternative transport solutions like PT and active transport.

@Danwwilson @tom_andraszek @ajsadauskas @TheOne it hasn’t always been this way
Read the story of the Lincoln Highway from 100 years ago. Roads didn’t connect towns. You had to pop your car on the train.
