Queensland Government promises to build yet another (probably tolled) fucking car tunnel. @brisbane
Fuck this makes me **so** angry. We KNOW this doesn't work. You want to solve congestion, road diet the existing roads. Build good bike infrastructure. Build good public transport. How does this happen with a single off-the-cuff announcement when *months* of back-and-forth debate over public transport network with the NWTC went *nowhere*.
@Pistcow not confirmed that this will be tolled, but it's going to start from the end of one existing toll road which, yes, was built by a mix of public & private funds and is now privately-owned and tolled. I expect this will be the same.
But my objection is *primarily* about the fact that it's being built at all, rather than about who's paying for it, per se. Even if both are bad.
