Transport policy as bankrupt as the state

That proposal goes along with the equally daft proposal to spend millions building a metro to the airport while at the same time cutting down on the relatively inexpensive bus service.

Anyway, if the very under-utilised Port Tunnel had been made a bit bigger there would be no need build a metro at all.
