"Normally I agree with Paul Mees, buI think his criticism of light rail
advoactes is misplaced. The bus system is beyond its capacity, and still
cant satisfy its mandate. There needs to be a modal change with lightrail
as the backbone of a public transport system and buses feeding commuters
into light rail nodes, park and rides etc.

Otherwise, he is right. Canberra is being locked into a car dependednt
future.

My other response is that if it wasnt for light rail advocates lobbying
for better public transport, you would not be seeing any improvements or
even discussion of improvements. Governments only react when pressure is
applied."
