    A hugely expensive project, is it worth the cost?

    • @DavidJones-pi8rl
      @DavidJones-pi8rl Місяць тому +4

      Considering its initial cost was $11.5b, then $16.5b and now $26.5b, I think we can say the answer is no!! Especially considering there is no train to the airport or cross city train. Both are planned but not started, in case of the airport train link, it has been announced so many times that it is starting nobody believes it will ever happen.

    i think you got your map wrong .... its from Bulleen to Watsonia :) need to switch them. Its also Yara (phonetically) as one word not YarRa (two syllables). MacLoyd is Maccloud. Its no actually help the transport hubs its just shuffling traffic elsewhere - people in the east cant get to the ring road easily, hence this tunnel, but like all our freeways, they barely have enough lanes now so if you double the population all these roads become parking bays like the south-eastern freeway is now. Too little too late.

    With the current cost of communications so low, I fiend it remarkable that the author did not consider picking up the phone from anywhere in the world and calling just about any local number in Melbourne and simply ask what is the local pronunciation of placenames. The narrator has mangled many (most in fact) of them as to be barely recognisable. This has transformed what would otherwise be quite an informative 10 minutes into a pain.

  • @DavidJones-pi8rl

    This was a pretty good video, but it was spoiled a bit by all the errors and mispronunciations of place names that distracted from the main messages. Perhaps a bit more research prior to creating the video would have helped. Melbourne is pronounced "Melbn". Watsonia is north of Bulleen. The map is wrong. "Melborians"? Is this a joke invented by Sydneysiders? We are Melburnians. Yarra is pronounced with a short a. I kept think I was listening to Lady Gaga singing Bad Romance every time Yarra was mentioned (so many times!). Darebin is pronounced "Darabin". The politicians you showed were prime ministers of Australia (Gough Whitlam and Scott Morrison). Road planning is primarily a state responsibility (although federal funds often are contributed as well). The picture of Heidelberg is of Heidelberg, Germany. Heidelberg, Melbourne looks a bit less historic than this. Macleod is pronounced "Mcloud". Our Doncaster, unlike the one in northern England, is pronounced with a long a. "Fright operators"? Do they only operate on Halloween? "Camperfield"? Is this meant to be Cambellfield? "Reduce the resilience on busy roads"? Is this supposed to be reliance? "Fitzmons Lane"? There is an i. There is no runway 10 at Melbourne Airport. They are 16/34 and 09/27.
