Taking a train vs Driving a car
Which one you prefer?? If I can be honest to myself, I prefer taking train. You can relax while it’s cruising the trail… You can talk on mobile phone without afraid of getting FINED…..You can read MX (Free Mon- Fri newspaper distributed on CBD) As illustrated on the picture below.
So why would you still drive to/from city? The traffic is more congested than ever. The parking fee in CBD is killing and the space also scarce.Even at late night you can’t conveniently drive at max speed, thanks to those turtles that drive 60km at zone 70km. You could easily spend double the time on road.
To me the answer is only one….FREQUENCY….. If only the frequency of the trains in Melbourne is 1/4 of Moscow or 1/2 of Vienna.. In Moscow during peak hours, the train comes one after another. You missed one, less than 2 minutes you catch the next one. Even their off peak time is still more frequent than Melbourne’s peak time!!
So wake up transport provider!! If you want us to reduce pollution, to use more public transport..you know what to do! Who wants to wait for up to 1/2 hour at night.Have not even mentioned the delays with a thousand excuses!
