I really think they’re all slapping a band-aid on the problem. Our bus routes are such low hanging fruit to actually be good, but all around the country, they’re kinda meh (especially here in Victoria).
We could pretty quickly rationalise the paths the take, and hire many new drivers to increase frequency.
We need to give the people who can get out of their cars the option, and currently many people simply don’t have a choice because of the stupid ways we’ve allowed our cities to grow, and be car-dependent.
Mark my words, fuel corporations are going to be laughing all the way to the bank for the rest of this crisis. All these tax cuts are going to do is leave us with less revenue and more of the money going to them.
