Excellent video! Well done Kitty and great analysis by Peter. Hong Kong has one of the highest population densities in the world (around 7000 people sq. km) and a relatively low labour cost. Tasmania is a low density, high labour cost location with a car centric population but we, as pointed out, aren't helping ourselves with a one-size-fits-all rigid and inflexible public transport system. Maybe petrol prices have to spike before we get our act together?
Thanks Plugger. Your observations are spot on. I don't know what has to happen for us to get a proper public transport system. Road congestion, the high cost of motoring both personal and societal will force the issue. I do hope our politicians will start to value public transport. With only about 3% of Tasmanian's using public transport, iI guess there are not many votes in it. Cheers Pete
Looking forward to watching this!
Thanks. Something a bit different to the normal Tas bus journey.
