Sydney as world leader in sustainability - Transport
“What would a world-leading sustainable city look like?" Below are elements of the vision regarding the city and transport that emerged during the last MOAC (Mother of all cafes) event:
Reliable public transport- Public transport... we should not be seeing cars in the city
- We need to say enough is enough and get the public transport that is needed
- Public transport will encourage SPRAWL. There are not the discussions that will help us understand the bigger picture
- Transports - public, bikes, education about safe transport and bikes
- Carless CBD - Car as guests
- Run cars on vegetable oil; Sydney's Cafe Lounge has one customer who comes in regularly to pick up vegetable oil from the cafe and use it to run his car
- Live - Work integration .. walk to work
- Public transport that does not detract from the person's daily experience. The City Rail billboards say that "a lot goes into making a forgettable journey" but they're generally not forgettable. They're traumatic. Especially when linking different types of transport together.
- Public transport - integrated , effective, green, accessible, FREE.
What do you think? How do we go about making it happen?
