Public Transport - not more bitumen - is the answer to traffic gridlock and rising petrol prices

Fast, frequent, well-connected public transport.

Transport policy launch

That's the promise of the Victorian Greens Planning and Transport policy, released by Bill Pemberton, the Greens Transport and Planning Integration spokesperson, and lead candidate for the Eastern Metropolitan Region. "Victoria can have a world class public transport system if we stop building tollways," said Bill Pemberton. "Rising petrol prices are making Victorians poorer, but 60 per cent of Mebournians can't leave the car at home, because there is no reliable, safe or convenient public transport in their neighbourhood." The Greens want VicRoads abolished, an integrated planning authority established and a Minister, with responsibility for 'Planning and Transport' appointed.
