To be honest I don't think any Government would be stupid enough to actually persue it given the cost of implementation and public outcry. These ****ers need to get reelected.

My commute is 5.5 km's return daily and I do it on a bike so Bring it on if it saves ME money.

I hope you are right JP, but I have little confidence in these people who are in power. It's like in Melb with the East-West link. The details are thin and they are pushing through with it anyway. Tax payer money is constantly wasted on projects that aren't right the first time. It's like they are pushing through policies to help the few while the majority are left to foot the bill.
