Melbourne’s population continues to grow, but there are growing calls for services such as public transport to be expanded to match the boom.

    @MHLoppy Road infrastructure either.
    Try getting anywhere in Clyde North between 5:00pm and 7:00pm and cry.

    I’m pretty sure that all suburbs that are poorly served by Rail, Buses and Cycling Tracks are also underserved for vehicular traffic too.

    Those suburbs that do have Cycling and Walking infrastructure don’t have contiguous tracks, forcing users to walk/ride though paddocks, on unstable road shoulders and even share road space with angry, entitled drivers.

      Yes, my area has bike lanes and tracks but back when I tried to ride I didn’t find them safe or easy to use
