I'm not interested in policies that wont commence during the next electoral cycle. I dont have any public transport the nearest bus is 22km away. Until the politicians realise you have to get people to a mass transit system and then get them from the terminus to their place of destination then its all hogwash. In addition if someone has to carry 20kg plus of items they wont want to be using any form of public transport. Get real understand why people have to use cars and figure out solutions.
