Railway and light rail infrastructure gets blocked by NIMBYs.
Bike and Pedestrian infrastructure gets blocked by Automotive industry groups.
Bus routes suffer from the same issues as automotive congestion.
The current State Government is being crucified by the expenses on Railway infrastructure and their efforts over the last half-decade catching up with the neglect from the previous decade.
It’s mainly astroturf from the fossil fuel industry, but for every fake grassroots campaign orchestrated by an advertising firm, there are plenty of gullible people who follow along.
There is little to no campaigns for investment in rail infrastructure, cost its not cool and its expensive.
Meanwhile a stronger rail links would facilitate better passenger travel, better cargo transport and remove a lot of our massive aviation and trucking dependence.
And it’s better for the environment.!!
But instead we piss about over stupid policies that swing in and out with each change in government. 😮💨
Better public transport?
Agreed.

Where has a community campaigned against trains and trams?
More against the cost of trains but realistically is just the car lobby in disguise.
