YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAustralians are in love with their cars but why is it costing so much every time we drive? As cities have sprawled, car use has exploded, along with the cost of parking and tolls. Could Australia look abroad to places like Hong Kong or does the answer lie in its own past? Australia reached its peak public transport usage in the 1940s before tearing up infrastructure like tram networks following the arrival of cheap cars. Amid a cost of driving crisis, is it worth reversing the trend? In a contest between a car and a train travelling into Sydney CBD, how do the costs compare?
