And right now, people going to Flinders have a longer trip - under the 
proposal being discussed, people going to parliament would get a longer trip 
-

You are, because youre trying to accuse us of suggesting the removal of loop

Hmm, so it does. Mathematics is not everyone's strong point, of course.

so perhaps flagstaff is 15% and parliament 17.5 or something like that.

It still appears to benefit more people than it disadvantages.
