The state government of Victoria does not give a flying toss what the
people of Melbourne want. They care what private enterprise (wealthy
friends) want.
However a slight change in attitude by the people would help as well. I
don't see this change of attitude happening until a decent transport
system is established. That will take a government with real vision, as
well as a substantial investment. IOW, it won't happen.
