Hon JULIE ANNE GENTER: So whether it's motorways, the reality is that there's an opportunity for a much more efficient transport system, and this means investing in the modes that have been under-invested in. When we start to reduce the unintentional subsidies that exist for single-occupant vehicle trips—that's one person driving alone in a car at peak time, which is, of course, the average vehicle occupancy at peak time in all of our major cities is 1.1. By unintentionally planning everything around one person, one car, we have made it difficult, if not impossible, for people to do anything but use a car, so we have unintentionally taken away those choices from people. The whole system will work more efficiently when we invest in those missing alternatives, like safe cycling for short trips; like frequent, reliable, affordable public transport. The more we invest in it, the more we put it out there, the more people take it, and the less congestion there is on our roads. Then, of course, the people who need to use the road network in their cars and trucks are better off if parents don't have to take their kids to school, if they can get on their bikes and walk and scoot safely. The tradies are better off, because they are a minority of cars on the network. They're better off when you invest in the alternatives.
