Cleaner, greener, smarter transport for the West

The proposed Westlink tunnel and freeway / tollway will not solve our transport problems.
It will choke our suburbs with more cars and trucks, destroy people’s homes, increase pollution, and in no time at all the traffic will be as bad as it is today.
Meanwhile we will still be waiting for public transport that we can rely on because so much of our money will have been spent on tunnels and freeways /tollways.
Instead we can choose smarter, greener and cheaper transport. A train every ten minutes carries the same number of people as a freeway. Doubling train services would make room on roads for cars and trucks that need to be there. And the more people that walk, cycle and use public transport, the more liveable and climate friendly Melbourne becomes.
Efficient public transport is the only way to reduce congestion in a growing city. It’s happening across the world – it can work here. We can choose our future.
