Transport

The objective for Melbourne must be zero emissions from transport.
How can this eventual outcome be achieved?
To achieve this outcome, the public transport system must be improved, so that it is more extensive and available everywhere; it must be comprehensively upgraded, expanded, and must be powered entirely by renewable energy, electric vehicle charge points must be available everywhere, and high polluting vehicles must be bought back from drivers. By 'comprehensively upgraded' I mean: new rail lines, new tram lines, new bike paths; a fleet of electric buses and taxis to supersede current fleet. A public transport upgrade and expansion would result in the thousands of polluting cars off Melbourne roads.
