Yes, "Misconception" is the biggest problem in all this.
The "Misconception" is that of people who will use road transport instead of
rail for freight and commercial passenger haulage. This "misconception" is
supported by similarly misguided politicians, media and lobbyists.
It is a "Misconception" that road is more efficient than rail in any measure
except for time.
One day the general public will wake up to the "Misconception" about
transport subsidies (rail is subsidised, road is funded) that they are fed as
truth.
As to the other comment above, see my posting in aus.cars Re: Dodgy Moves by
Police.
