    In the short term, it would be time to either relocate to somewhere more practical, or change your lifestyle.

    Before cars there were much more extensive public transport and freight systems, especially in regions that weren’t serviced by extant rail corridors.

    Just in Western Gippsland;

    Unfortunately, since these Alignments were abandoned by disuse, much of the land has been reclaimed by farmers and developers using colonial-era squatters rights laws. There would need to be extensive Eminent Domain claims raised to reestablish the type of coverage we had before Private vehicles became ubiquitous.

        Do you think innocent lives is a fair price to pay for your convenience?

            Driving a car creates a higher risk of killing people than anything else most people do in their lives. Just look at the road toll. Don’t kid yourself, we’re definitely talking about a trade-off between convenience and risk to people’s lives.
